I can’t recommend Sean enough. He has truly transformed my outlook on life. With his guidance, I’ve learned to look inward and grow upward, seeing myself become a kinder, more positive person. Sean has helped me discover a newfound confidence—I can finally walk with my head held high. For the first time, I truly believe in myself, and I’m excited for all the growth and potential that lies ahead. Knowing I have Sean in my corner gives me so much hope for the future. Thank you, Sean, for the impact you’ve had on 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.

Sean will properly listen to you and mirrors back to you things you didn’t know you were saying. Important things that no longer serve you and must relinquish. A proper gift not many therapists are good it - highly recommended!

Excellent therapist

Reviewed February 2024

Sean has great ideas and is a great listener.

Reviewed January 2024

Sean has provided me with the right kind of mentoring, guidance, and insight to help me achieve goals and ambitions I wouldn't have otherwise achieved. Sean has the ability to highlight blind spots I otherwise would completely missed and has helped me grow into a stronger version of myself by taking the problems that have been holding me back and solving them from the root causes within myself. There is a lot to offer from Mr. Hessey as a therapist due to his inherantly warm, kind, understanding, and unjudging personality. I would strongly reccomend him to anyone who needs help in any capacity. He is worth his weight in gold.
