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.

Dawn is an amazing therapist. She's kind, always listens to you speak, and takes great pride in what she does. She's an amazing individual and deserves the biggest raise
Dawn is AMAZING
Dawn is amazing, she calls me out, and knows when to push the question and is OK with letting me get there
Dawn is such an amazing supporter and listener. She calls me out and holds me accountable and I severely appreciate it.
I really feel like Dawn brought a sense of openness and a genuine caring attitude. She has great listening skills and she shines by opening new portholes to see out of. I feel encouraged by her gentle but insightful support to be wiling to look at who I am with more courage.
Dawn is a great therapist. I’ve made a lot of progress this year working with her that wouldn’t have been possible alone. She has gone above and beyond helping me through some tough situations and I’m really grateful for her.
Dawn is so nice and understanding. I really enjoyed talking with her. It was like talking with a friend.
Dawn has been amazing in supporting me through all my struggles. Dawn is awesome!!
Very courteous, kind and listens. Great attributes to help others with!
Dawn is my very first therapist. I tend to be a closed book....I've had less than 5 sessions with her so far, and we've connected so quickly; I feel safe and secure sharing what I need to. She's a kind individual who listens to what I have to say, and offers coping skills and other "homework" for me to better myself. 100% recommended
