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.

I am very confident in Debra.
Debra is WONDERFUL! Extremely knowledgeable, professional, and truly cares about her clients well being. I appreciate that she prays at the beginning and end of sessions if you’d like her to. I believe she is very Spirit led and I’m thankful that she listens. She is a true blessing!
Debra is amazing. She got to the root of my issues right away. The experience I've had with Debra was what I had hoped for when I started therapy.
Debra has been helping me through my anxiety, depression, and alcohol addiction. She is always quick to respond to any questions I have, and provides a listening ear as well as some life survival tips to work through my specific issues. Highly recommended.
