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.

He is wonderful
Great, but not my responsibility. He is a wonderful counselor.
I have recommended this app to so many friends and family members. It’s been a huge help and great addition to my life!
Dr Schweizer has been very helpful for me in working through a variety of issues.
Dr.Schweitzer has made me feel so comfortable. Even when I step away for a while he reaches out to make sure I’m okay and reassures me that he’s there for me. I finally feel like it’s working.
He is wonderful.
Dr Schweitzer is great and a competent clinician I would recommend him to a stranger or friend he responds to me and is very understanding
Wonderful!
He is compassionate, pragmatic and very knowledgeable. I am very happy to be able to work with him.
I’ve had three sessions with him and they have all been amazing. He’s given me a lot of new perspectives and things to think about which is great for an over thinker! He’s so kind and you can see he genuinely cares.
I am new to seeking therapy but I have to say that this councillor has been great supporting me and helping me figure out my mind. He takes a lot of time and listens to your concerns and also has great ideas on where is you can feel better or work towards your goals. I would highly recommend him.
He’s amazing to speak to. Upfront and caring!
A really professional and qualified doctor really helpful. I looking forward to my session with doctor Schweitzer every time.
