Ive is compassionate, understanding, experienced, knowledgeable, and also challenges my assumptions and gets me thinking about my situation. This last point is very important to me, and I appreciate it a lot, but she goes further than that: she also knows when to help me find rest and RELEASE from challenges, go easy on myself, and allow healing to happen without so much of a fight. I’m very lucky to have been matched with her.

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.
