Joanne is amazing. I was very specific on finding a Christian therapist because us Christians get each other on another level. She definitely made me feel super comfortable from the get go. She wasn’t judgmental at all. Spoke her mind and even emphasized some personal experience to help me understand and comprehend things better. Grateful that I got paired with her.

I have had only one session but she seems on point so far. What most individuals don't understand if they have not had this type of therapy is that answers are sometimes difficult to obtain. Joanne so far doesn't parade herself as a solution machine but she seems to provide tools needed for me. That is by far more important than anything roght now.

About online counseling

Affordable.

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.
