Shannon is my safe space I look forward to every week. It’s the first time in my life that I have someone who actively listens to and validates or offers self-assuring advice when I’m in a complete spiral. I am always thankful for her voice on the other end working out a problem and prompting me to look within and pay attention outwardly on how to feel more at peace.

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.
