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.

Has been helping me through a difficult period
Therapist is very attentive and very helpful in areas as needed for the client
Lorretta is very attentive, she listens. She as great ideas that helps an I think she’s honest with her opinions about what I’m going through.
Respectful, responsive, listens, offers feedback & suggestions, and seems to genuinely care.
Professional, warm, knowledgeable, and resourceful. Highly recommended
Loretta as my therapist my first impression was that she is a very good listener. The intentions were to listen to me and ask questions and set goals. To find ways and homework that will help me with things that I'm dealing with. Journaling is very important as well. Thank you Lori im looking forward to each of our sessions
She takes time to listen and validate your challenges with tools and practical advise coupled with empathy
Simply put, she is one of the most understanding people I think I've ever spoken to. She makes me feel heard, and thats a rarity.
