About online counseling

Affordable.

Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

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.

Ms. Alicia does an amazing job of “pushing me” and tends to draw me out while also being a very good listener. This is exactly what I need in a therapist; she’s a great match for me. She’s very thoughtful in her approach in dealing with me and my myriad & complex issues. I highly recommend Ms. Alicia to anyone who needs to be drawn out of their feelings and/or mind in order to open up and not hide from the tough questions while simultaneously has the need to be heard and listened to during their therapy. She’s clearly quite experienced and while it’s tough sometimes, it’s tough in a cathartic way!!!
