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.

Vanesia has been so very kind. Although this may seem not to be the most important quality or expertise needed from a therapist, it was so important to me after having such a traumatic 48 day experience while my husband was hospitalized until his death. Shockingly, kindness and compassion were often lacking which made a terrible experience an absolute nightmare. The kindness and empathy shown by Vanesia has helped make a start to healing that experience so which will allow me to process my grief.

This was my first session of any form of therapy and Vanesia was very professional and authentic, she made me feel comfortable speaking with her and opening up. She even helped me understand my own thoughts better and her recap and goal setting was very thorough and well communicated. Vanesia is someone I really enjoyed speaking with and I highly recommend.
