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.

I am so grateful for Courtney’s guidance & support. She’s really great at reminding me how much I already know and then giving me tools to put that knowledge into practice. Definitely feel aligned and excited to connect more.
I really appreciate Courtney’s hands on and direct approach. It gives me food for though and helps me decide what I want to bring to or continue in our next session.
Courtney is professional and courteous. She asks thought-provoking questions gently and with enough respect to care about your feelings in any given situation. I have already learned new coping mechanisms and “tools” to help me with my mental illnesses, and that’s only after a few sessions. She will let you speak your piece and always offers for me to talk first if we accidentally speak simultaneously. This shows her dedication and compassionate nature towards the people she helps. Happy to be learning and getting help from Courtney.
Courtney helps cut to the core feelings of an issue and gives great feedback for both written messages and live sessions.
She was responsive and reliable. I was able to schedule a phone meeting in short time and she helped me with writing prompts to figure out what I truly wanted to do in a challenging and emotional transition with a family member I had been estranged to. She understood the urgency of the situation’s timing and and helped me feel supported and understood. After the situation she also followed up with processing how that situation went and allowed me to respond at my own pace. Had a really positive experience with her :)
Great therapist! Really welcoming and easy to talk to. Very well rounded and knowledgeable.
