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.

She has help me tremendously.
Dr. Scott’s experience in higher Ed is such an asset to my therapeutic experience. It’s truly a different world and to have a therapist that really understands the ins and outs of this world makes it easier to focus on the issues at hand rather than explaining the norms of academia. I’m grateful for Dr. Scott’s kind and compassionate care.
Dr Scott, upon our initial encounter, I was pleased with her professionalism and attentiveness to just listen to, sometimes, ranting, but listen to my heart cries. There was a humbling about her presence and commitment to her patients to just be present. I appreciated that. Knowing someone was actually, hearing you and not just blowing you off to get to the next patient or to discontinue the conversation altogether. Thank you.
Dr. Scott is amazing, just simply amazing. I thank God for her
She’s positive, polite, knowledgeable and attentive.
