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’ve enjoyed working with Arewa she had made it comfortable for me to discuss my thoughts and feelings. I don’t feel like I’m judged or someone in the que of clients to be see.
Amazing person. Listens and does not judge.
My therapist is great at walking me through my thoughts and gives me great tools to navigate them.
Lovely lady and very wise
Arewa is very attentive and very understanding. There’s never been a moment where I didn’t feel actively supported and understood. She also assigns homework which I appreciate.
Very attentive, encouraging & insightful guidance.
Arewa is God’s gift to those in need of assistance navigating there mental health journeys. She is very helpful as a guide with great resources and worksheets to assist me along the journey. It’s not easy but it’s been worth it with her help.
Awesome! 10/10 !! Grasps and understands my thoughts even when I branch off into many of them and then circle back. I would recommend Banjoko to all. Very kind. Listens very well!
Very helpful and professional
Real informative, and caring. Seems to know how to really break things down, and explain things. She doesn't talk down to you or hit you with terms that go over your head. I would definitely recommend her.
She was very attentive during our first session and I actually left feeling better about my choice. She listened and was able to turn some negative thoughts I had as positives.
She listens. She suggests alternative ideas to help with my goals. She checks in with me and reminds me that it's OK to not be ok.
Arewa has provided a solid game plan to approach my anxiety, overthinking, and overall outlook on life.
