Ginny has been really helpful to me over the last few weeks to feel better about a challenging friend situation. She helped me think through things, including how events in my childhood impacted my reaction to current events. She is a great listener, and I appreciate her questions and feedback. I definitely recommend Ginny to anyone going through a tough time who needs to talk things out and explore other perspectives and possible solutions.

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.
