Sylvia is very attentive and doesn’t just throw clinical jargon and off the cuff responses back at me. It’s quite obvious she truly takes the time to consider and analyze what I’ve presented. It’s not just cookie cutter therapy. I truly feel Sylvia is treating me and my situation very specifically and not just reciting therapy rhetoric back at me. A very comfortable and welcoming experience. I very much look forward to my journey to better mental and emotional health with Sylvia as my therapist.

Sylvia has been so helpful in helping me uncover where my anxiety and depression was coming from ultimately helping my healing process.

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.
