Krystyna has been an absolute savior in regards to my mental health. She is a wonderful therapist. It took me a while to find someone I fit with, and Krystyna seemed to know exactly what I needed off the bat. She puts you at ease, lets you guide the convo, and it really feels like talking to a no-judgement friend who happens to know all of the strategies to help you find what you're looking for. She has helped me get through a depressive period and lots of life ups/downs and I would recommend her to many people in my life.

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.
