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.

Laura has been wonderful. She understands my issues and she’s a great listener which I really appreciate. She gives me a lot of encouragement and gives me new ways to think about my issues. She’s extremely personable.
Connected immediately with my therapist the questions asked to pair you with the right person was dead on. Only my second session and I feel better than therapy I have had for years
Awesome, insightful, and helpful! More importantly the tools she gives me are effective! 10/10 would recommend, she’s very honest and is fantastic about tailoring different methods to fit what works for you!
Great therapist and really help me see things when I couldn't. Thank you
