Kari is amazing. She’s patient and funny, willing to deviate from topics if something comes up outside of our usual topics. She responds quickly when messaged and has enough options for sessions that it’s rare one would have to wait more than a week to have a session. Her advice is always on point and helpful. She doesn’t TELL you what to do but guides you to the answer or to the realization. She has ideas for days if you need some help figuring g out how to handle a situation. And she has a GREAT sense of humour. Which is important

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.
