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.

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.
