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.

April is a great therapist and really takes the time to listen. I was going through a very stressful/sad period in my life and she really took the time to understand my concerns/needs and advised the tools I should use to help me feel better and stay more grounded. I would highly recommend her to anyone that needs someone to help them through a hardship in their life or just needs a professional opinion on your situation.

April does a great job defining boundaries and setting expectations early on. And, as you continue to meet, she is very good at honoring those boundaries and expectations, as she helps you on your journey to getting better at helping yourself. As she says, “If you put in the work, you will see yourself improve.”

April Clanton has been so supportive and responds to messages quicker than I expected. Sometimes you need to talk to your therapist when you are having high anxiety or stress in that moment and April has been there every single time I needed to talk to her. The tools and techniques she offers with mindfulness is very beneficial and she guides you into using them even when you don’t need it. That really helps when you are having high stress/anxiety situations to be comfortable with technique to calm the anxiety down.
