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.

Sandra is a very talented therapist. She is patient with her clients, and is there when they need her. She does not get impatient and does her best to encourage her clients, even when they feel as though they might be doing everything wrong. The thing she taught me which I felt was most important, was self acceptance. That I need to value and accept myself first, and remember to love myself. Through those actions she taught me that setting boundaries, and managing my own life was the most important form of self care, that no one was going to do it for me, until I did it for myself. Thank you Sandra, for setting me on the path to healing, and being there for every step of the way.
