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.

she is a wonderful help
Cicily has been amazing, from literally the moment we said hello in our first meeting. I feel much more confident following our conversations and I have a much better understand of everything I’m going through. She has done an amazing job explaining things to me or walking me through various emotions, feelings, or situations. Cicily allows me to talk through everything without judgment and gives me the tools necessary to find a way to explain what I am going through which has been amazing. I look forward to our talks because of the progress I’m making and I wouldn’t feel this way without Cicily.
