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.

The best therapist I’ve had. I’ve always felt like the things I entrust my previous therapists use to blow their mind and never had an intellectual response, kinda like speaking to a friend not real professionals, but Yolanda knows what she is doing, if I blow her mind with my troubles she blows my mind with a wise response. we have a goal, a plan of action. She is wise, she is for me.

Yolanda is so easy to talk to. She works to see things through my perspective and she challenges me when she sees inconsistencies in my values vs. my actions. She is a safe place to land (she knows how important that is to me!). Safe enough that I challenge her back when I think she has misunderstood me or interpreted my words differently from what I meant. She doesn't come across as lofty or clinical. She is real. I am very thankful for Yolanda.
