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.

Overall rating:
Melissa has been very helpful. I’ve noticed some improvements in my situation.
Melissa has been very helpful in helping me sort my feelings after my divorce.
After spending a few weeks with Melissa in online sessions, I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a therapist. I immediately felt comfortable speaking with her and have found much of the perspective and guidance she has given to be very helpful. She also has been someone who really follows up and takes the extra time to finish each discussion. Her practice is thorough and professional.
Melissa is very straightforward and down-to-earth. I had no issues explaining sensitive topics and never once felt ignored or ridiculed. Thank you!
