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, 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.
