Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

she is extremely nice and kind. She is a good listener. She also find other ways to see if she can understand what you’re going through and try to find ways to help you that other people I have met have not done.
Jennifer makes me feel understood and listened to. A feeling I haven’t had in a long time. She’s knowledgeable and has very quickly calmed my nerves and helped me to better understand myself and why I’m feeling certain ways.
Been working with Jennifer for only a short time, but her insights are already helping me see and understand better, and I'm confident her help will put me in a mint better place.
Jennifer is very approachable and eay to confide in. She is professional and offers insight to my cognitive issues.
