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.

Ann is awesome!! She really listens and reminds me of my goals.
Ann is absolutely amazing. I am going through an extremely hard time in my life, where everything seemed flipped upside down. Ann has helped me set goals, feel seen and heard, and has begun to help me move forward positively. Can’t say enough great things about her.
I have only had one session with Ruth, but found her very helpful. I look forward to working with her.
She has been great to work with. Understands what I’m going through, very professional, and offers good advice.
