I had only two sessions with Dr. Covernton so far and it already changed my life. Knowing that I have a safe space to talk about everything without any pressure, to be myself without any fears. I talk a lot and my thoughts are just coming and Dr. Covernton is amazing in asking questions at the right time and highlighting areas to work on deeper. We did an excellent practice of acknowledging and understanding emotions. It was the best practice and I really needed it and it changed how I see my emotions. Now I see them in loving, kind and caring ways. All in all, I’m so grateful that I have Dr. Covernton as my therapist. I needed a safe place to talk with a supportive therapist and guidance in my self discovery journey. And sessions with Dr. Covernton are exactly what I was looking for and I’m loving them.

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.
