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.

Well, so far I have had only two sessions with her and already I feel like I have an educated ally and friend who I can respect and take advice from and who has already been helping me feel heard and hopeful for good change and healing. I like her very much so far! She doesn't have her own agenda and she puts your needs first and is a very good listener! She's like an angel.
