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.

My experience has been life changing. I started therapy for the death of a loved one and there have been topics and trauma well outside of grief that we have continued to tackle. I have gained an appreciation for self-love from therapy. The questions Dr Gulsan asks drives the session and helps me make connections. She has brought me so much confidence in myself during times I struggled to find it. Her demeanor and empathy has always made me feel safe and welcomed. Dr Gulsan has made me feel very comfortable. I feel like I’m speaking to someone who truly cares. I really feel connected to her and I feel that she has been such a benefit to my life. I have learned new coping skills and ways to help myself through issues. I loved my counseling experience and I have been able to work through much of my past issues with depression and anxiety.
