I respond very well to her style of therapy. Much more like a conversation that something clinical. She always listens to me and gives me examples that relate to her own life and situation that gives me context and validation to what I am feeling or experiencing. I cannot imagine having any other therapist. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a way to decompress, learn, and share.

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.
