Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Melanie is a great therapist! She is kind, respectful, open-minded, and impartial. Our sessions have been very beneficial so far, and I would definitely recommend her:)
Melanie has been a great therapist and has been able to help me with any of my problems
I have only had a few session with Melanie but in those sessions she has shown me the kind of therapist she is. She is kind and warm, she listens well and helps keep me focused during the session. I feel heard, I feel seen, I feel supported. Would definitely recommend Melanie, and Better help to friends.
