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.

Rachel is amazing and makes an active effort to listen and offer solutions to whatever you may be experiencing. They also provide you with homework from time to time to help you build life skills that you may not already know.
I’m grateful for the flexibility
I have always been skeptical on therapy due to a bad experience in the past. Having met Rachel and speaking with her, my life has definitely changed for the better and I can see things from a different perspective now that she has helped me with my troubles and just life in general. She is very straight forward and fun at the same time. She has made me believe that I can indeed trust someone to help me without passing judgement. I am happier every single day and doing the best that I can with my life and having Rachel to talk to has made this possible! THANK YOU!
Great person who helped me
Rachel has been very attentive to my unique problems and offered insights into my well being that I would not have otherwise considered on my own.
Rachel does an excellent job of identifying behavioral and thought patterns to help me understand myself. I’m so grateful that I was matched to her and for all the support she had given me!
Rachel has been a wonderfully positive guiding voice in working to rebuild after a very hard year. Their CBT approach has resonated really well with me and gives tools for building on a personal level.
