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.

Did therapy with Dr Fortune for a couple months after doing a lot of self-work on my own. The sessions were a strong addition to my mental/emotional health journey. She was very quick to identify root cause issues and recommend more resources to build on, stayed focused on my long term objectives, as well as work through day to day related problems. Definitely wouldn't have truly felt that I found the root causes of my challenges without these sessions. It was also not easy and required some hard work and humility on my part, which are typically signs that something is worth doing. Great person to work with.
I was feeling lost and talking to someone after all the trauma the last few years helped me recenter.
Its hard to find people with the depth to understand issues particularly in my line of work. Dr. Fortune has been instrumental in this last year in regards to family loss, separation, and need for individual growth.
Dr. Fortune gets me to think in ways I’ve never done before which help me realize the things I need to improve on in my life and that I’m working on in therapy. She has a lot of relevant experience to my needs and is very professional. I would recommend her to someone that has similar therapy needs as myself.
