He is a great guy! I've been in and out of therapy since childhood. Most of them are garbage he is the real deal. He takes the time to feel you out. Then he suggests things to see how you respond. He doesn't impose or pressure you that his way is the right way. He understands that it's a relationship being built. He works with you, because he understands each individual is different and molds his approach accordingly to suit you. So while he may require more sessions. He will get you better results. He should be booked up. I'm so lucky I got him.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
