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.

Love her already,she's as eager as I am to be on this journey
Karen is so very compassionate and present and is willing to put in the work to help her patients! She has easily been one of the most helpful and supportive therapists I’ve ever had. She isn’t afraid to ask the difficult questions with the goal of getting to the source, which is very admirable in my eyes:)
