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.

She’s great. She really listens and brings in new insights which I never thought of. Highly recommend.
I’ve worked with Renate for about 6 months. Meeting on average three times a month. She has been incredibly helpful helping me navigate marriage challenges and providing me with better perspectives and increased confidence. She is a great being non judge-mental and supportive. She is so encouraging and reflective. I’m ready for the next chapter in my relationships and self growth.
Renate genuinely cares about her work and is adept at tracking patterns and approaching them in a constructive but understanding way. She offers unique feedback and tips and makes you see a very valuable third party perspective to help work through problems. Highly recommend her if you’re feeling down or anxious.
