He had been an amazing therapist. He listens to me and my rambles and always makes sure we have a goal and are making progress, but is understanding when it takes longer to meet that goal.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Colorado with 4 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with depression, stress and anxiety, lgbt-related issues, family conflicts, & trauma and abuse. I believe individuals know their story best and it is the privilege of therapists to hear that story. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am honored to be a therapist who gets to help others through their struggles.

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.
