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.

She is a very caring therapist and has helped me a lot
Dorothy Lyons is highly engaged with individual needs. Very knowledgeable and respectful. Plus, she goes and beyond! I am deeply grateful for her help and support through some life challenges! Much appreciated!
Dorothy is one of the best therapist, the best thing I like about her she is sooo detailed oriented and would pay attention to everything you said and make a note. She always remember what you have shared with her. I have tried therapy in past too but never felt so connected to someone. She listens your concerns and with her experience guide you with some good coping skills. I like how she always check on my well being. I will recommend her 10/10 to anyone. She is the best :)
