I don’t know how he does it, because I was a hot mess. It must be the experience and calmness. I don’t know, but I can see the tangible results already in my life. I wish I would have done this months ago.

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.

Dr. Brown is the therapist I needed. There's no substitute for wisdom and experience.
A very knowledgeable, personable and caring individual. Mr. Brown asks thought provoking questions and always checks for understanding. He gives good assignments to work on outside of each session to help me to be a better person. He also is very reIatable and has a great sense of humor. I highly recommend Mr. Brown.

Mr.Brown is such a great therapist and truly has helped me put my mind at ease
My first therapist and I don't plan on changing him
Octavius came at a time where things were very difficult. I lost someone I loved very much and it made me question many things about myself. Octavius listened and dug deep to understand me and proceeded to guide me. It was not like the therapy I was expecting where someone just listens and then you're left on your own to figure it out - Octavius was insightful and provided examples and scenarios. I feel great now and coming from a guy who never thought therapy was a thing, it certainly is! I highly recommend Octavius, thank you for all you did.
Octavius is attentive and thoughtful. He has guided me through situations of great nuance with lucidity and confidence, and I'm a better, stronger person because of it.
Me Brown is such a great therapist that you almost feel like he knows your situation from first hand experience. He is thoughtful, empathetic and offers insightful advice. I would highly recommend him.
I enjoyed working with Octavius, and he gave me good advice about a conflict in my marriage. He offered a unique and helpful perspective I hadn't considered. I'm grateful.
he listens well and gives good advice
Compassionate expertise
Great advice and support. Awesome!
Just a great guy to talk to. As someone who’s not struggling with just being lost really gets me in a controlled space and helps me just take a breathe and see stuff didfwrently
Today good advice was given
