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.

Ive been working with her for about 6-7 months now and I can genuinely say she does have your best interest at heart and she will listen when you want to be heard offer advice when you feel lost and help you rebuild the perspective you have on yourself and everything around you. Shannon goes above and beyond and has helped me so much since I’ve started therapy, Im eternally grateful.

She is a genius! We have only had a few sessions so far and we already know the core roots of some of the issues I have right now. She is very proactive, and has already taught me ways to deal with things that happen. It all makes so much sense to me. She also has compassion and understanding about certain struggles that I have. At the same time, she’s also honest with the reality of certain behaviors I have. It’s a perfect balance, and I’m very grateful I was matched with this therapist!
