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.

Great personality and listener
It has been the most amazing experience. I could never have hoped that having a therapist would help me so much. I appreciate the way she work, her mannerisms and the way she treats me. I feel we have an open and honest dialogue. She has helped me see my way through what was a very dark time.
Kind and informative, Devorah also has great insight that is specific to what I’m talking about. Thank you!
Devorah is compassionate and wise. She listens to me patiently and offers helpful insights and suggestions.
