Dr. Alexa has been an excellent support for me as I transitioned from full-time worker to part-time worker/retired person. Exercises were designed specifically for me and the work I needed to do to learn how to incorporate coping mechanisms and identify messages that I had for my past that were no longer helpful.

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’s the best!
She is a kind and genuine person. It is easy to be relaxed during our sessions, as I feel heard but not judged. All around, she's punctual, respectful, and knowledgeable.
Dr. Branagan is such a support, always willing to hold my hand through some tough times, and help me out the other side. I would recommend her to anyone who is serious about working on their issues & following through to overcoming them!
Amazing, 10/10.

I appreciate Dr. Branagan for always being available for being concerned with my well being.
Dr. Branagan has been an extreme amount already with just the few amount of sessions we've had. She does an amazing job at making sure I'm comfortable during our sessions and helping me understand why certain things occur in my thought process that i didn't understand before at all.
I have only had 2 sessions to this point, but they have been very helpful, she always comes to our sessions prepared and asks questions that are helping me navigate my issue.
Dr. Alexa has been SUPER responsive, empathic, kind, compassionate & educational. She has excellent skills & would recommend her to help with any issue.
