Asta can sense the right approach from the very first meeting. It feels like she knows me better than I know myself. Her questions, metaphors, and suggestions are extremely helpful. She is very polite, and I feel safe with her.

We only communicate via messaging but so far, it's been great! She was able to understand my concerns right away and provided me with great insights about how to resolve the issues I presented to her. She promptly responds to my messages and gives me prompts and points for reflection which are very helpful to me.

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.
