I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Dallas is the most helpful counselor I’ve ever had. We usually start off with a review of my week, describe some points of frustration as well as what I’m proud of myself for.. maybe check in on updates on the topics from last session, but sometimes I don’t want to talk about them because it’s too overwhelming and he’s supportive of those choices as I make them for my mental health. I appreciate that he respects those boundaries because I’ve had counselors who push too much. Then we discuss what I would like to see happen with the situation/problem/task I need to complete. Or sometimes If it’s a really hard day I just need my feelings to be validated and someone to be present and gentle with my feelings and he’s really good at that kind of support as well. At the end of our session we choose an attainable goal for the week, so I have something to focus on for my progress.

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.

Dallas is the best counselor I’ve ever worked with. Every session is worth showing up to, (even when I’m falling apart too much for a video call & we use the app messaging instead). He is very outwardly sensitive, validating, and offers unique perspectives and pearls of wisdom. He describes helpful concepts in an accessible way. I always feel better after talking to Dallas, even on my worst days.
I really enjoying talking with Dallas. He's very observant and has a great understanding of what im trying to say even when it may not be clear. He responds in a timely manner and encourages me to express my feelings, which lets me know that's he listening. I look forward to continue working with Dallas!
