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.

Great therapist, gets straight to the point of the problem. Quick at identifying what kind of help/guidance i need to be my best self.
Shontay is caring, compassionate and empathetic. She is also easy to talk to and share my issues and concerns with.
She is my first therapist. I am having great sessions with her. She is very patient with me with my ranting.And respectful. She has help me find insight in for the short amount of time.We been having sessions together, and she makes me feel very comfortable talking about a lot of this stuff. And stuff, I mean, of course, traumatic experiences, family drama relationship drama and she, it's also nice to have a therapist who is also Christian base. It feels easier to open up and connect more to My christian base religious side. I do fully recommend choosing her. If you have option and choose her, she is very professional and very genuine and yeah, you won't be disappointed.
