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.

I enjoy working with Cora
She has really helped me put thing into perspective on a lot of aspects in my life in only a short time. She make my concerns feel valid while simultaneously putting certain worries to rest with logic. I’ve never done therapy before but she has made this is experience as great as it can be during a troubling time.
In the few sessions that I have had with Cora, she was able to help me understand why I have certain issues regarding some things. She helped me make a breakthrough and realize some important aspects of my past within my first session. After my first session with her, I felt like a huge weight had been lifted off of my shoulders. She has been very supportive with my needs and I always look forward to my sessions with her.
