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.

Watisha is one of the most caring and knowledgeable therapist I have ever worked with (I have been through plenty of therapists). She really is amazing. Helped me get through some really difficult things. I highly recommend her!
I❤️therapist! She can relate!
Watisha is amazing, I love our sessions and look forward to speaking with her any time I’m available to speak. She’s great at listening and is very genuine. I see myself staying paired with her long term. She make you feel comfortable no matter the situation.
As someone who has gone through therapy for most of my life, Watisha is one of the best therapists I have had. I have been working with her for almost a year regarding my dad's passing. Several months ago I went through a really difficult time and she was there to support me through it. Watisha is full of compassion and she sessions always feel like a safe place.
My therapist encourages me to think!! I am now healing
Watisha has been a great help, she is extremely attentive to what I have to say, and she gives me the tough love I desperately need. She's a wonderful person and it's quite obvious that she cares deeply about her clients. To anyone starting their therapy journey, I strongly recommend that they match with Watisha.
Watisha is truly so genuine and caring. She helps me identify my areas of need and works with me on getting to the root of my problems. She’s provided me with tools to manage my anxiety and traumas, and she consistently challenges me to be and do better for myself. I immediately felt comfortable opening up to her. I am so thankful I have her to partner with me on this journey. Thank you, Watisha!!
Good, bad or indifference…My therapist jus gets me! That’s to me, is what makes a BIG difference!
Watisha is intuitive, and supportive, and asks me questions that cause me to go beyond a surface-level response. She is exactly what I needed to move to the next level of my journey!
I’m meant to put 10 for all scores, I feel like Watisha truly cares about me and my progress, and I am grateful to be working and bonding with her.
She's the first therapist to make me feel comfortable opening up. I'm very thankful I got connected with her and she goes out of her way to help me. Couldn't be happier with her as my therapist.
