Sterling is great. He takes the time to listen and give advice that also aligns with my spiritual beliefs. When there are lapse in our sessions (unable to schedule weekly) he checks in throughout the week in between appointments.

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.

Talking to Sterling has changed my life for the better
Sterling is great. He takes the time to listen and give advice that also aligns with my spiritual beliefs. When there are lapse in our sessions (unable to schedule weekly) he checks in throughout the week in between appointments.
Sterling was very invested into me and offered me some light at the end of the tunnel when I only could see the darkness. He was very relatable and understanding and most of all made me feel comfortable opening up which normally I don’t do
Love him!
Sterling is capable, knowledgeable, friendly, funny, and has an uncanny way of turning my perspective on its side! He is personable, relatable, and is gifted in ways that I’ve never experienced from a therapist. Starting is invaluable!
I feel heard and connected to! I always frowned upon therapy cause I didn’t feel as though I could relate to anyone but I can say I found my match lol
So far so good
Sterling has been amazing with helping me navigate my personal struggles along with my family members struggles
Sterling has a great way of explaining how I should look an challenges that I am experiencing in a different light.
Great therapist breaks down things in ways you wouldn’t think of so you can see it from a different point of view great listener and gives good advice
Sterling was a huge help to me. Very insightful, intelligent, empathetic, and relatable. I highly recommend him as a therapist!!
Sterling knows his stuff but even more so, your get this feeling of comfort with sterling
I have told a handful of my family and friends how Sterling has helped me navigate through how to manage my relationship with my daughters. I have seen improvements in the last fews weeks in how my daughters and I react to each other. I have also told my sister that she should talk to someone at better help to help her navigate her relationship with our mom.
Mr. Gibson was very attentive when I spoke. He didn't interrupt me nor did he make me feel as if he were judging me. After our first session, I felt encouraged and understood. He checked in with me frequently after our first session. Over the course of the weeks after our session, I did feel anxious about any situation at work. I was able to walk myself through each issue.
Although I have only had one live session with Sterling so far, he has been amazing about checking in with me via the app. He is incredibly perceptive, noticing things about a client very quickly that possibly he/she hadn't realized about themself. Sterling has a fantastic sense of humor and has a perfect balance of intellect and intuition.
Great listener and relates With a lot my same circumstances and made it easier to understand
He takes his time to listen without judgment, the way he explains things makes so much sense and help me a lot!
