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.

Ms. Rayner is an absolute sweet-heart. Professional but doesnt make you feel small in any way, very down to Earth and feels like you are simply keeping accountability with a friend. Thank you for being such a joyful person and providing me tools to get through this rough patch, I don't want to ever be in the same position, but if I do I will certainly feel better equipped. I put off seeing a therapist for the bad rap it has been given, but this was completely the opposite. I felt encouraged, loved, and that I was given attainable goals and very practical steps to walk through this time! Thank you, you are a blessing Ms. Rayner!

Bring the therapy sessions advice to into my daily tasks. I feel challenged, I feel myself growing. I’m grateful I hope that everyone finds an amazing therapist like this.

Catovia is amazing. She is extremely warm, kind and empathetic. She is probably the best listener I've ever had the pleasure of meeting but also balances that so well with an ability to ask very thoughtful follow-up questions, offer new perspectives, challenge my thinking in ways that are positive and beneficial...and so much more! Anybody would be very lucky to have Catovia as their therapist.
