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.

She’s very professional but also able to make me feel comfortable with telling her my problems. I was struggling to find a therapist on better help that I clicked with but once I switched to Michelle I felt 10x better!
Michelle is absolutely amazing super professional lots of great ideas listens to how and what I need and then alter the therapy accordingly couldn’t ask for a better therapist
Michelle is the best therapist that I’ve worked with. She makes me feel heard and seen. She’s extremely knowledgeable, and has great insight in what’s happening. She’s been extremely supportive and hands on through this whole experience and I feel SO lucky I found her.
I have to say Michele is fantastic. Wonderful and fabulous. She’s actually one of the first therapist that I’ve been to that knows what she’s talking about and knows how to approach the situation and that’s what I love that about her. ☺️
Michelle is very caring, she listens to me and offers the best advice possible I’ve been working with her for two weeks and I can already see improvement.
Michelle is insightful, attentive and intelligent. I feel comfortable speaking with her and look forward to our sessions.
Michelle is a blessing and I got very lucky getting matched with her as my therapist. She’s smart and caring and always knows what I’m going to say before I even say it. Even a few sessions in she’s already helping me feel 10x better.
Michelle has been great to work with.
She's absolutely amazing
It’s still very new and early but so far she’s been very attentive and available and has lots of tools and advice to offer.
Michelle takes the time to listen to me and validate how I am feeling, but the real work is happening when she challenges me to think and come outside of my comfort zone. This is causing me to create change which follows peace and clarity as a the end result. I leave sessions feeling like I can implement changes and have hope. I am forever grateful I was matched with Michelle.
