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, 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.
