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.

Guadalupe is caring, kind, and compassionate. I would highly recommend her as a therapist
Lupe is very understanding, very accepting, and very good at giving advice. She's very enjoyable to talk to, very funny, and she makes therapy feel less constricting. I'm not someone fond of therapy, but she makes it good and actually helpful.
Guadalupe is a wonderful person who fully understands recovery. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking help in or with recovery.
Ms. Rios has been absolutely wonderful to work with. I truly appreciate her insight and experience.
Convenient and experienced professionals
Guadalupe has being a breath of fresh air, she listen attentively, ask questions, offer perspectives, and educates. She has a soft manner to her that is calming an reassuring, she also has a sense of humor and can laugh with you. I don't know what else to say, she is great.
Guadalupe is a very kind and patient therapist to work with. She's considerate and caring for whatever I brought to our sessions and always offered helpful feedback and thoughts.
She’s very friendly and she listens
My therapist couldn't be a better fit. I appreciate the experience and approach she has with my traumas, lifestyle and where I am at today. I am grateful for therapist and this app
So far, working with Lupe is like a warm hug. She is an incredible listener, is actively present and gives such a warm, supportive yet honest perspective. I am grateful to have her in my corner. I feel so heard and supported.
Guadalupe has been integral in helping me feel level headed during this season in my life. She’s very insightful and understanding. She offers sound advice and is very relatable. I’m very grateful for her.
Guadalupe is an amazing therapist. She listens to my issues and helps me process them. She always comes up with ways to help me through my problems on my own terms. I appreciate her more than she knows!
She’s very “homey” as I would like to call it. In a very good way that you would feel like you have everything to say and express comfortably.
I feel like she really listens to me and offers great advice. She supports me and gives me the best ideas. I’ve only had two sessions with her and I feel comfortable talking with her.
She is very knowledgeable and offered amazing feedback. She made me feel very comfortable and understood my concerns and seemed to be very engaged and showed empathy for my trauma and need for therapy. I feel I was matched perfectly with a person who genuinely gets me.
