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.

Susan is wonderful. She's patient, kind and understanding, but she knows when to balance that with accountability and difficult conversations. Her demeanor and technique match my needs perfectly.

Susan “gets it”. I’m not sure what it is about her, maybe her education, possibly her life experiences, but she gets it. She is relatable, understanding, patient, and invested. I really feel like she wants to help me and not just listen. I really appreciate her and look forward to our weekly meetings.
