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.

Excellent listener and provides relevant insights
They listen intently and are very helpful with grounding worrisome thoughts.
What an amazing therapist. Not only does she give me insight, but she follows it with personal experience. Which makes me feel closer and more understood. My favorite person to talk to when I’m going through obstacles in my life.
I stopped going to therapy for a while and I was hesitant to start up again with a new therapist but Bernina has really made my transition so smooth. Although they are virtual sessions, you can feel that she is a very caring and warm person. Thank you Bernina!
She is very understanding and honest. She makes it very easy to talk about my trauma
Bernina has been wonderful in helping me prioritize my mental health and have me see myself from the outside in. She is the best
Amazing human being and therapist. She continues to help me with my fears and insecurities. Her willingness to listen and advice on how to reframe situations has been truly helpful.
Everything is good
Very understanding and I love her perspective on things <3
I've been taking session for only 3 weeks now. Though I believe I still have a long way to go working on myself, she was a huge support, she listens to me so patiently and gives me proper guidance and certain ways to handle myself. She's good at what she does..
She's a keeper
