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.

Rachel is a professional and expert in her counseling sessions. Rachel provides numerous solutions and options to solve issues and struggles I have.
She's helpful, on time and worked with my schedule even in later hours. Talking points could be brief or elaborated, she adjusted as I need.
I am very grateful to have been matched with Rachel. She has really showed me several constructive tools that have already made a huge positive impact on my life. She is incredibly responsive (even when I bother her on the weekends) and provides thoughtful insight into any type of situation that I bring to her in our sessions. She makes me feel heard and respected but also challenges me to really think about difficult situations from other points of view. I am very thankful for her and would highly recommend her to anyone who asks.
Rachel Babiskin is professional gentle with my feelings and has a lot of options for me to consider when I come to her with an issue. I would recommend her as an effective therapist
Rachel is great. Very respectful, listens to what I have to say, and has never invalidated me or the way I feel. Coming from a very bad experience with a previous therapist, I was happily surprised that she made me feel comfortable enough to open up.
Rachel has already helped me through so much. Starting a new chapter in my life now and I’m glad Rachel is there to help me.
Rachel is the best.
I cannot say enough good things about Rachel. I really look forward to our time together every week. She has helped me through a major relationship hurdle, gives me fantastic strategies in our sessions, and makes herself available whenever I need her. Rachel has given me a LOT of tools to use moving forward in my life AND has gotten me to think about certain things from different angles and perspectives. I will be forever grateful to her and would highly recommend her to anyone who asked!
Rachel is very prompt and thoughtful in her responses. It’s clear in our weekly phone calls that she is reviewing our past conversations and staying up to date with my concerns.
