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.

Laura is an active listener, which is great. Really good at resuming topics from one session to the next. She does a really good job of allowing me to reframe my negative thoughts into something more positive.
I get the feeling that Laura genuinely cares for my well-being and has a passion for what she does. Her advice is practical, realistic, and tailored to my needs. She challenges me just the right amount, but still holds a comfortable space for me to be honest. I’m very grateful to have her as my therapist.
She is an excellent therapist. She is a great listener, she’s kind, and easy to open up to.
She makes me feel comfortable, safe, and provides amazing feedback and guidance. I can see my progression with her and I would love to continue seeing her!
