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.

A very kind therapist that takes account your interest and keeps your perspective in mind when discussing issues or thoughts
Couldn't be more pleased with the great counseling from Jason.
Jason is kind, empathetic, and insightful. He asks great questions that make me think. He hears the nuance in my answers and opens roads to look into that I would not notice. He provides the support and guidance I went to a professional therapist and counselor seeking. I am happy with the exercises he has me do, the conversations we have, and the progress I see in myself.
He’s awesome
