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.

Hands down the best therapist!!!!
David has an incredible way of making you feel comfortable from the very beginning. He’s willing to share his own struggles to help validate yours. I’ve already learned so much and gained new tools. I’d recommend him to anyone!
I appreciate the info as we touched based on some adhd issues but I want to dive into issues and see results and hope to change some bad behaviors by understanding why I took that action or reacted in that way
David makes me feel heard and understood. On top of that he does to work to ensure that I am able to work through my issues and concerns. I am grateful to work with him!
David is helpful and gives me important insight on various issues, I have.
Working with David has truly helped me take smaller steps with bigger results. His words and his overall demeanor shows how he truly cares for patients.
David is so supportive, loving, compassionate, caring, light hearted, and warm. There are so many good things to say about him. The list could go on and on and on. With counseling I have realized it takes a little time. A little time to get comfortable. A little time to notice a shift occurring. So give it time before you give up. Give it a little time to connect with your counselor. It's so nice to have David as my support. Thank you so much David!
This guy is exceptional. A good listener who offers really good advice. Never judging and always trying to find analogies that he believes will resonate with you based on his observations. Offers really good guidance and takes feedback really well. He helped me tremendously and I will always be grateful to him.
I am so thankful to have been matched to David. He’s amazing. He has the knowledge, the ear/shoulder to lay all your worries. I smile before and after a session knowing he has my back and will lay down any knowledge to guide me onto the right path. I feel very lucky to be able to have David as my better help counselor. Thank you so much David, I appreciate the time you take to talk me! You are an angel!
