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.

Caring, understanding and helpful. Very lovely person and therapist
Great therapist. Helped me get back on track and utilize good coping skills. Very attentive and able to understand what was most important to me. I would recommend her to anyone needing therapy.
She is amazing! She makes me feeling very understood and validates how I feel while finding solutions.
It's only been two weeks but Dr. Olivier is so sweet and caring, she offers skills to the problems I seek help for and she validates my feelings at the same time ! She is so kind as well, I'm excited for my next sessions with her (:
Dr Oliver has been very helpful thus far!
Brenda was wonderful to speak with, so thoughtful, and right away when we met, she already had a couple ideas for plans for me moving forward.
