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.

Dana has been a valued therapist from my first session. She’s responsive to my specific concerns and has some mad skills at listening with her heart and offering tools for my growth. I’m feeling better after just a few sessions.

I’ve had in person therapy before when I was younger and none of them seemed knowledgeable or cared nothing useful. Dana Thomart however has been the best therapist I’ve seen she is patient, kind, caring, informative and knowledgeable I’ve learned a lot in just 3 sessions with her. Such as grounding techniques, learning more about how or why certain behaviors happen, learning to breakdown a situation to keep from spiraling and so much more she’s super kind and helps with whatever you have in mind I feel at ease and more at peace after each session.
