More about Tyerell

Thanks for visiting my profile! I am a licensed therapist that is passionate about providing treatment or support to those in need. Though I specialize in working with military service members, veterans, and their families, I have supported a wide range of clients in meeting their mental health goals. Together, we can work toward addressing concerns with stress and anxiety, anger management, motivation, self esteem, or depression. My approach to therapy is collaborative because I genuinely believe that I'm simply here to guide you to the space you want to be in. The journey will take commitment and a willingness to change but it will be rewarding. The good thing is that you are taking the first step, which is reaching out for help. My hope is that you've enjoyed what you've read and you are as eager as I am to work together!

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.
