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.

Reviewed December 2023

I have benefited from my sessions with Viva. Her schedule works well with mine and she has ample availability to schedule sessions. She is kind and patient. She tailors the sessions to your individual needs. I feel very comfortable with Viva and she is very good at following up with me between sessions and encourages me to contact her if I need anything before our next appointment. She is a kind and responsive therapist and I will continue to see her.
