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.

Overall rating:
Catherine is experienced, thoughtful, professional and courteous. She offers very practical and insightful guidance, after listening carefully.
I love Catherine. I had therapy for 10 years and was devastated when my therapist retired . I thought I wouldn’t find a great therapist again until I met Catherine
Catherine saw right away what my two primary issues were, how they related to one another, and which one was more urgent to address first. She empathized in a genuine way while recognizing my strengths. She was transparent with me about limitations, and offered many different kinds of resources, and flexibility. Much appreciation in a hard time.
Great listener and gives good advice.
