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.

Ruth Gus is a great therapist who is listens well and gives pertinent advice specific to your situation. Would highly recommend her to anyone.
Ruth has been such a great listener to me, and I've been able to untangle my feelings bit by bit.. Thanks Ruth!
Ruth has been supporting me to navigate a complex situation of work and family related issues. She took time to understand the issues before coming up with advice that is suited to my needs. I find this great help.
Ruth is a lovely and respectful woman. She listens and offers practical solutions but she does not enforce them. She leaves the decision to you. I would recommend her to everyone.
Ruth is kind and lets me speak my mind. She listens very carefully and catches intricate details. I highly appreciate her practical guidance and the new perspective that she provides.
Empathetic kind and professional, I wasn’t sure what to expect.. however Ruth gave me closure and validation on a situation that I was sitting on for a while feeling very lost and detached, therapy is a working personal progress and I was lucky enough to speak to a professional that is understanding and a great communicator.
I am very glad I took the steps to join better help and got Ruth . She has been a huge help and made me understand and appreciate so much more. I have seen improvements in my life since deciding to open up and speak to someone about life. Thank you Ruth
Highly recommend
It's my first session with Ruth and I already feel like a weight has been lifted. Shes kind, gentle and amazing at listening. Im really excited for my journey with Ruth
Ruth has been my go-to person from the day I started therapy. I have no words to explain how she has made a positive impact on me. I message her everyday and she takes the time to read all my messages and promptly responds to them. I have felt so much better after my sessions and regular catch ups with her. Cannot thank her enough, and I look forward to my sessions. I have got a lot of inner peace now, thanks to her!
She is a great therapist and I really enjoyed my session .
Ruth is a angel she has tried her best to help me thus far despite me being highly irregular in responsiveness
She is a really good listener I feel like ive known her for so long.
