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’ve been through more these past months and I’ve been struggling just to make it by. Cassandra has done more than I could ever imagine. She breaks me down to make me cry and get through the pain. It’s scary but it’s needed. I have a very hard time talking to people about what happening in my life. Talking to Cassandra is great because I don’t have to hide. She has kept me alive

Cassandra is exceptional, she connects in a way most people can’t and it’s refreshing to see someone who’s actually a true advocate for others. She gives unbiased feedback and opinions on your situation helping you to settle into what you may or may not already know. I am thankfully for her input and value her opinion. Not to mention her energy is amazing! Thank you :)
