I just had my first session with John Kelly and I’m very happy with how it went. John was incredibly easy to talk with and I felt very comfortable. I’m looking forward to our future sessions and to gaining the knowledge and tools I need to regain a sense of calm and direction in my life.

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.

John is an excellent therapist. Professional, patient, and easy to talk to. Thank you, John.
I just had my first session with John Kelly and I’m very happy with how it went. John was incredibly easy to talk with and I felt very comfortable. I’m looking forward to our future sessions and to gaining the knowledge and tools I need to regain a sense of calm and direction in my life.
John is an amazing therapist who has not only helped my mental health tremendously, but also helped me create small or big goals for myself, and create a positive environment with a strong support system in life. Before I started having sessions with John, I was in a very dark place and felt hopeless and unsure of which direction I should go. John was very empathetic and understanding of how I felt. He is a very active listener and provided a lot of great advice and tools to improving many aspects of my relationships, health, and career. All of my sessions with him felt very personable and safe, like I was talking to a close friend. I write this after several months of sessions with John. At this time, I am a lot more content and confident now in not only myself, but the way I approach all of my personal and professional relationships. John greatly contributed to my positive progression, and I feel like I owe a lot to him. I highly recommend John as a therapist for anyone who felt as hopeless and down as I did, because he is an amazing person to get another perspective from. He's also great to talk to even if you're not depressed, and even if you just need someone to hear you out on other topics as well. Not every therapist is for everyone, but I think John is a good fit for most people who want help with being a better version of themselves. Thank you, John!
A top man.
