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.

Bill is terrific. I always feel like he’s actively listening and it’s clear he retains things I’ve said in previous sessions. Very pleasant to talk to which makes the process much more enjoyable. Thank you Bill.
Bill is as polite as he is enlightening. He is a skilled therapist that nurtures personal growth and posesses a great many talents - which have allowed me to truly explore a painful past and work towards future solutions. Great guy, top lad, 11/10 "and all that jazz".
Great listener, reached out, and responds. For my first experience with counseling I’m feeling more comfortable as time goes by. Hopefully he will continue on this journey with me and leave me With great guidance and knowledge on how to handle situations and on to learn proper and moral control.
