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.

Great listener who shows empathy and compassion.
Andrea has been a breath of fresh air for me and in my therapy journey. She is super comfortable to talk to, nonjudgmental, caring, and supportive. She provides useful resources, and allows me to vent and ask questions without limits. I feel so lucky that I was able to be matched with her as it always feels like I have someone in my corner who is willing to help me and challenge me when I need it. She is truly a blessing and I am so grateful :)
Andrea is a warm and patient person whom I immediately felt comfortable with sharing my life stories. She provides me with the appropriate tools to help make the difficult decisions in life. Thank you for your expertise Andrea :)
She is wonderful
