Lucy is a great therapist. Right from the beginning she understood what challenges I was having and had great tools and ideas to support me. Lucy is a no judgement therapist and a cheerleader in my corner. I am forever grateful for her insight, knowledge and expertise. She makes therapy feel like I’m at a coffee shop with a friend just chatting about life!

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.
