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.

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.
