Recent reviews
James is a knowledgeable, caring and warm therapist. I have a lot of self awareness with all the language for what I’m experiencing through years of self-development work. In the first session, James pointed out a need for simplicity, which gave me such a sense of relief I hadn’t felt in a long time. With every session, I feel markedly more at ease and able to have different perspectives on challenges I am currently facing. In between sessions, I have been able to post thoughts gained from a previous session, and he responds quickly with helpful ways to think about the topic or a quick insight that I can work with. I’ve hesitated to use online therapy because of the reputation for hit-or-miss therapist matches or inconsistent therapist quality. I was lucky to have been matched with James at my first try and am grateful for his wisdom and guidance.

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.
