I had tried a few different therapists in different apps but never did more than one session. I felt like I connected with Amy right away and look forward to our talks every week. I feel not only is she helping me through my issues on our weekly calls but she has been there for me in urgent situations and I feel like I can depend on her to be there for me if I’m struggling mentally which is not something I even expected but is a really amazing feeling.

Amy presents a non stressful environment and makes it easy to communicate. She's very easy going. She seems to be on point with her observations and suggestions. She offers a relaxed atmosphere even though it is video.. but it still feels quite comfortable. Also, I feel no judgment from her this far, which is very important to me. I enjoy her calm personality. She's very polite, professional and sweet.

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.
