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.

Absolutely fantastic
She is an awesome fit for my issues. I appreciate her greatly!
Salena is a great listener pauses and allows you to speak your truth. She is always attentive to body language as well. I highly recommend her as a therapist to anyone who just wants someone to listen when you're going through hardships. She is one of the best counselors I've had.
Very good listener and wise
Selena is very kind and gentle. I actually didn't really like at first how it felt I was the one controlling the convo a bit but I realized I really needed that. I needed to feel heard, like I didn't need to fight for someone's attention. The conversations with her flow so smoothly idk I like her
Salena has truly helped me see myself in a different light while addressing issues I actively face. She really listens and responds with her expertise, and her care is genuine and true. She is my first experience with counseling and she made me feel heard and comfortable. I would recommend her to anyone looking to explore counseling and address their personal growth and any roadblocks they may be facing.
Wonderful, thoughtful, compassionate, patient! She is literally amazing and I love our talks.
I have only had 3 sessions with Salena, but every visit has left me with a-ha moments! And from those, I know will come growth! Happy to have found her!
very caring and calm and good advice
