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.

It's very understanding and knowledgeable, always willing to dig deep.. but in a respectful and non-prying way, her insight has been instrumental in helping me navigate all my issues and trauma.. if it wasn't for better help, Wendi, as well as my friends and family.. I'd probably be in a really bad place still. Cannot recommend her enough.
