Joan was a great therapist! I worked with her for nearly 8 months. She gave me new ideas to think about and let me vent about whatever I was thinking about! I would definitely recommend going through therapy with Joan if you are looking for someone who is attentive and professional!

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.

Joan is a great therapist and a wonderful listener. She has many helpful tricks and tools to help her clients feel better about themselves and understand themselves on a deeper level. Her sessions don't feel like "normal" therapy sessions but more like you are talking to a friend. I look forward to our sessions and I feel so much better knowing that I have someone who cares about me.
