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 really like Davina. She is a very calming presence and she makes me feel inspired to make my life better. I am excited for what the future holds in working together.
She’s terrific and understanding. This is my 1st time ever having therapy and from the first conversation I’ve been hooked. I love the exercises she gives and the feedback! 10/10 recommend her!
She’s simply the best!
Davina has been a blessing. She’s very intelligent, a great listener, and provides fantastic feedback that have offered new perspectives. She works with me very well and I’m thankful for her. I’ve left her sessions feeling better and I enjoy the material she sends between sessions I do find it’s very helpful as well.
The VERY best. Like ever.
Whenever I speak with Miss Davina, she’s always very respectful and she listens to me and she understands you know what I’m going through and if not, she always makes an effort to, but there hasn’t been a time and when she hasn’t understood me I appreciate that of respect, mutual respect for one another, and the willingness to listen from an unbiased point of view. I’m very grateful to have met her.
From our first session, she made me feel comfortable to share and I feel like her being my therapist was a great decision!
She is exactly who I was looking for and what I needed!
Davina is an absolutely phenomenal therapist! She is knowledgeable, kind and so compassionate. She gives me exercises to help me grow. She also is timely and respectful. I would recommend her to anybody looking to improve their mental health!
So thankful for Davina, her perspective and her assistance through this season in my life. She always points me to Truth, and shows me how to apply Truth to my daily life and suggests activities for me to practice between sessions. She is priceless!
Davina is a wonderful therapist, I highly recommend her!
She does a good job communicating and outlining steps to take to try and improve. Is taking time to get to know me over the video sessions and so far has been a solid good experience
I wish I could go back in time and meet Davina sooner!
Listens to problems well. Helps you understand why on things you may not understand, and gives ways to deal with problems in appropriate manner.
I have been in therapy for almost 30 years and Davina is the best therapist I've ever had. All of my past therapist let me know that what I'm feeling is valid but Davina actually helps me process and prepare.
I have had 3 therapy sessions so far with Davina and I have already learned so much about myself and how I see others. She really listens to me and I appreciate that about her. I look forward to each session now and believe I will learn so much more.
Davina is excellent. She has helped me through a lot of extremely difficult loss and life changes that have been going on simultaneously. These issues are also connected to childhood trauma and difficulties that have been ongoing for decades. It takes time for a therapist to get to know all about you and be able to delve deeper and help more with the root causes. Davina helped me successfully from the get go during very extremely difficult times and over several months has gotten to know me better and we’ve begun getting more to the root of some issues within myself. She is responsive, caring and trustworthy. Thank you Davina. I have a lot more work to do but I know you’ll help me get through it.
Davina is very understanding, but also firm about prioritizing my mental status, even dealing with close family members. She reminds me that i need to take care of myself. She provides appropriate worksheets in between sessions to really make me think about the situations I’m facing. Although these are virtual visits and I’ve never met her F2F, I genuinely feel like she cares about my wellbeing. I would definitely recommend her, especially if you’re a female with family issues.
She’s a cheerleader and a great confidante. I feel like we can talk about anything and she validates me while also guiding me towards more healthy decisions.
She’s good at what she does. Thank you
Ms.Davina definitely keeps me centered and accountable! She very kind and patient with me and gives me praise with every goal she’s really heaven sent.
Davina is very quick to respond and very attentive. It feels like I am talking to a caring friend who gives great advice. I was very adamant about finding therapist who would help me think differently and give me tools to cope better rather than just sit there and ask how that makes me feel. An hour goes by so fast with her and I leave our session feeling more peaceful. Highly recommend Davina!
She listens to what I say and digs deeper into the root cause of my problems. She also helps me understand my situation from different perspectives and gives me worksheets to make me think and understand my issues more. I highly recommend her. She is amazing!
Davina is the first therapist I’ve seen and I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience. I know that finding a good therapist can be a trying experience, so I’m really thankful that I have what I need right now! She listens and has identified some things that I knew were issues, and given them the correct name so that I can identify them and has been working to help me realize how those issues are affecting me. I’m sure she will be of even more help in the weeks to come. Thank you Davina!!
Davina is fantastic! She hit me with an aspect I had never thought about right out the gate. Really made my wheels start turning to figuring out a solution. She is compassionate, understanding, and has fabulous input. She is quick to respond and always there when you need her.
She is amazing. Super understanding and listens I feel heard never made me feel bad about anything and her advice is excellent
It’s been a greater experience than I thought it would be! I really feel connected to talking and working with Davina. In just three sessions she already has me back on track to a better lifestyle!
