Reagan helped/is helping me get over the things that are hurting me, and she gave me a lot of tools that I will use down the line. Talking to her has made me feel much better.

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.

I had an amazing therapist in madison wisconsin 2 years ago and it was really hard losing her and finding a new one to adapt to. I tried maybe 3 or 4 but when I was in a crisis and needed one right away better help came through right away. Then raegan was just amazing at accepting what's going on and trying to push me forward and focus on myself
