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.

He is simply the best, very humble & down to earth. He takes the time to really listen to you. The conversations you have with Lawrence make you feel comforted. He is also incredibly nice & very knowledgeable in a variety of things. He’s super professional in this line of work and he’s help me tremendously. I would argue he’s the best therapist of all time.

Louis is a great therapist for me he's a good listener gives great advice!

Reviewed November 2021

Lawrence is the most understanding and respectful therapist ive had the pleasure to talk and open up to. I feel like I'm listened to and my opinions matter, while giving his personal opinion and not just the view of a therapist but someone who can relate personally to your problems in a professional manner. All of this only coming from 3 weeks of sessions means I would recommend him to anyone looking for a compassionate ear and someone to dive into the parts of yourself your looking to improve
