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.

Dina is amazing! She has a warm and vibrant presence that makes me feel welcomed and at ease in our sessions. She is compassionate and non judgmental, and has taught me several helpful techniques to implement when I’m struggling with anxiety. I highly recommend her to anyone struggling with trauma and anxiety.
I have tried more than a few therapists, and Dina is definitely above the curve. Very caring, energetic and professional.
Dina is such a sweetheart! I was nervous about starting therapy after so many years but she made me feel comfortable and the next session we had, I was confident and happy :)
She’s so great. I need someone kind to help me along, and Dona has been amazing.
I really like Dina. She listens to me, and remembers what I say. She validates my feelings and does not judge. This is a very difficult time for me and I like knowing that she is in my corner. Also, she has the kindest voice, and is very empathetic.
