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.

in the month that I was in therapy, all I really have to say is that Kristy was always there to talk to me and she provided very healthy, supportive ways to get me through my anxiety. I still struggle with it, but she taught me how to control it better. I would highly recommend her.

I am deeply grateful for the support and care I have received from Kristy. Her kindness and compassion have been a beacon of light during some of my darkest moments. Her empathetic approach and unwavering support have made a profound difference in my life. Thanks to her, I have found a renewed sense of hope and strength. She has truly been instrumental in helping me overcome feelings of hopelessness and despair. I highly recommend Kristy to anyone seeking a compassionate and skilled therapist who genuinely cares about their well-being.

Kristy was great and very helpful with what I was going through.

Reviewed March 2023

Kristy Groves is a superb therapist. She not only fully listens to the patient/client's needs, she also rephrases her understanding of the issue back as a question. To establish full understanding between both patient and therapist. She is willing to offer various methods of treatment, and is not one to force treatment on a patient, should they decline. Highly recommended.
