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.

Absolutely amazing experience with James - has helped me build some positive habits for myself. Follow the homework and be honest with yourself and him.
After being cycled through a few therapists who were unavailable/unhelpful, James has been really helpful in giving me solid, practical advice that I could apply immediately. I really appreciate how he keeps things lighthearted and positive so you feel open to share anything without judgment. I would definitely recommend him to other people.

Fantastic
I always look forward to my time with James. Highly recommend.
James is a great counselor who is patient, skillful in providing insight and a safe space to be heard. He embodies the idea that the result of going through therapy is determined by how much you are willing to put in the work to help and deal with your issues. He is a wonderful guide, but you have to be willing to make the first step, to dive deep to understand and uncover all the things you were unaware of.
James is an experienced counselor who is able to establish a level of comfort right away. He is a great listener and understands when to ask the right question at the right time. He is very supportive and offers solutions based on his profound expertise. I can strongly recommend working with James.
James Gallagher is a great counselor!
