Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Dawn Clay is a phenomenal therapist. She is relatable and treats you like a respected individual. She offers great insight and a multitude of tools to help you cope and grow between sessions. She is good at reading you as an individual and knowing what you need even before you know yourself or before you say it. I couldn't ask for a better therapist!
