Kara is a great listener and great at offering solutions but at the same never pushing them in a way. She's present, open, and engaging.

Reviewed April 2024

Kara was kind and personable. She listened and let me explain what was going on that I needed to work through. She offered “pearls of wisdom” and great advice.

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.
