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.

Tesia is the therapist I’ve been looking for! She is a great listener and very clear about her style upfront to make sure you’re compatible. She listens and asks me incredible questions to help me make some connections/realizations. Highly recommend
My therapist makes me feel comfortable and I feel like she listens and understand and respects what I say and really tries to help me the way I need.
I absolutely love Tesia , she is so very real and deliberate with her communication.
