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.

She is a Rock. Knows what she is talking about and helps me when I second guess myself to bring me back to center.
She helps me understand my own thoughts and feelings and put into words what I want.
Bridget is an amazing person who has helped facilitate my healing and growth in ways I had not imagined possible. She is caring, compassionate, and has been the safe space I needed to heal.
Bridget is an incredibly compassionate, empathetic, kind, non-judgemental therapist that has provided a safe space to share in my journey to heal. She provides valuable feedback, resources, and ideas that have provided education and tools to assist me in my wellness journey. I am incredibly thankful for her knowledge and time.
She is an amazing woman, she listens, she is so easy to talk to, it feels like I am talking to a close friend and not a therapist which makes things so comfortable for me.
Thank you for making my first therapy session comfortable and enjoyable!
Very reassuring and personal. She is a genuinely human individual.
