Amanda had help get my prospective back in line with my life

Reviewed December 2024

I’ve worked with several therapists in the past, and Amanda is, without a doubt, the best therapist I’ve ever had. As someone pursuing a Ph.D. in psychology, I can be a tough critic, but Amanda consistently exceeds my expectations. She has an incredible ability to truly listen, empathize, and connect with me on a deep level. Beyond that, she provides actionable solutions that empower me to grow and tackle the challenges I’m currently facing. Working with her has been transformative, and I’m grateful for her guidance and expertise.

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.
