Debra is extremely thoughtful in her approach. She also helps you process your own thoughts and instead of looping, she guides you to a conclusion as well as a solution. After every session she sends a detailed recap of the task to be completed throughout the week so it’s easy to remember and keep track of what to work on. I have enjoyed my time working with Debra!

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.
