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.

Love Tonya! She is the best and so easy to talk to. It's like talking to a friend.
I found her very down to earth and relatable. Shes very calm and present while being relaxed and easygoing. Love it!
Tonya is so great. She sends me encouraging words everyday. Listens to what I have to say and doesn't cut me off or try to make me feel like I don't matter. Love her!!
I really like Tonya. Tonya is not afraid to probe. She asks good questions, is supportive of me, resourceful & communicates well. Although we have only have video communicated twice, she does respond to questions or thoughts I might have through email.
