Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Heather and been an amazing Therapist and support for me and helping me navigate through this thing called life
Heather is a person of great compassion and empathy. These are the characteristics that make for an excellent therapist.
I love Heather and she is always checking in and up on me. It makes me feel safe and someone really cares
Heather is amazing and I would recommend her to anyone
Has been a tremendous help for me
Heather Ray is a compassionate and empathetic advocate. I strongly recommend her to anyone who wants to "feel understood" and experience positive and progressive support.
Heather is a great therapist. She is kind and compassionate. I was able to get to know myself better with her and tap into my confidence to make better decisions in my life. She was very understanding of my faith and encouraged me to explore more what my faith means to me and helped me become a better Muslim. She was also really effective in helping me navigate relationships, especially with my family and coworkers.
Heather is the most conscientious and attentive human being. She is focused, she provides resources to enhance the therapeutic experience and, most importantly, my emotional issues are being addressed. HIGHLY recommend working with this therapist, but stay out of my time slot.
Heather is very kind and has been very helpful. I have a problem with my memory and forgot our appointment today. Already set my next session.
Heather thus far is amazing, and has been truly amazing and I’m grateful
That has helped me do much
I just started much needed therapy with Heather while beginning a very contentious and terrible divorce. She has helped to begin the process and come out of this as a better and stronger man.
I would say Heather Ray is very great listener. She provides resources that are very helpful. I believe she has been helpful throughout my journey of trying to better myself.
Heather is very understanding and an AMAZING listener. She has the ability to makey ou feel comfortable from the very first moment.
