C.H.·Jan 2021

I was skeptical about going to therapy and even more unsure if I would be matched to someone that can help me unpack past issues. I was matched to Denise and from the 1st session she made me feel comfortable enough to share my past with her. She listens and navigates her feedback in a way that isn’t aggressive but rather a welcoming approach. I look forward to our weekly sessions.

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.
