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.

Very well educated and speaks with great knowledge
Caring and supporting of your concerns.
Michelle North is a positive force in helping guide me through this unfamiliar territory. She has been nothing but professional, compassionate, and helpful with her knowledge and tools she helps teach. She is fantastic and I'm grateful for her.
Michelle is great. She is attentive and a great listener!
Michelle is the best. I am so grateful to have her as my therapist. She truly cares and looks out for me in all areas of life. I don't know what I would do without her support!
Michelle has been a wonderful tool in helping me get through this transition in my life. She is a good listener with helpful feedback. She has a warm, relaxed approach that is friendly & professional. I have felt her support in between sessions when she has messaged suggesting classes etc.
Great
I love her willingness to listen to me. I feel like I’m being heard and she helps me with diving deeper into my thoughts. As well as coming up with practical solutions to problems I may be having. She helps ground me back into reality and something I really appreciate is that she helps me with being on the same page from within myself. Thank you Michelle!
She is very thoughtful and genuine. She has a lot of expertise in her field “. I look forward to seeing where this goes
I feel comfortable speaking with her.
Although I have been "seeing" Michelle for approximately a month, she has identified areas of my mental health to be targeted and provided tools to help me navigate through the stressors in my life. Primarily helping me to see the value of good memories vs painful memories. I look forward to continue working with her.
She's very helpful and listen carefully to my concerns. After only 2 sessions I feel like she shed some lights on my concerns.
