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.

I came to Paula during a very dark and difficult time in my life. I had never before participated in therapy so I was a little hesitant but Paula changed my mind and is so encouraging, positive, helpful, and makes you feel like you’re not alone! She is amazing and makes you feel amazing as well! HIGHLY recommend her as your therapist!
