Hello: My name is Russell Bader, LCSW. I have been in the practice of psychotherapy for 50 years. My focus has been on Anxiety Disorders, Trauma, and depression. I believe that thoughts that we may not even be aware of lead to emotions and behaviors that interfere with a happy life. My approach is to assist people in becoming aware of their thoughts and how they influence their lives.

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.
