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.

Carmen is amazing! Thank you for all the help.
My therapist is attentive and caring. She offers excellent insight and helpful tools to help me navigate through the healing process. I appreciate her wisdom and value her expertise.
I love Carmen! She’s very relatable, transparent, and empathetic. She remembers little details about prior sessions and follows up each time. I don’t have to remind her or answer the same questions each session like with previous therapists. I feel heard and seen!
Very compassionate, understanding and corporates with many conflicts and very reassuring about being able to get better. She also makes sure I am comfortable in the efforts of different exercises to practice, if it is something that I could do daily. I appreciate her professionalism.
Carmen is very professional, courteous, kind and respectful. In addition to this, she’s honest, thorough and has a great sense of humor, which I enjoy! I always feel that I’m heard and that my feelings and issues matter. I would definitely recommend her as a great therapist!
She's a patience, respectful and attentive listener. She tried her best to understand your situation without harsh criticism and try her best to get to get to the core of the issue. My experience been pleasant.
Carmen is an Angel. She has not only helped me through a very traumatic time in my life as a supporter and guide but has also helped see me grow past into a better version of myself. I hope to continue seeing her in the future as I’ve had such a wonderful experience.
Carmen, is amazing and I feel she really cares about what I am saying. She always offers insight and understanding.
