Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

I just feel so listened to! Donna is never dismissive or judgmental, even though I can be a challenge!
Donna is so wonderful, has been able to pinpoint my concerns as they ebb and flow. Navigating work, school and my family/social life has been tough but Donna has given me useful tools and mindset to keep me level and positive.
Donna is well versed in therapy and is able to gently guide me back to my goals without ever being dismissive. Evenings work best for me and being able to meet then is wonderful and I don’t feel that I am imposing or being rushed. It wasn’t easy to ask for help and I was initially reluctant but Donna is really welcoming. I feel I can now trust her completely with my personal information and that she is a person of true integrity!
Extremely thoughtful, focused, highly skilled, and compassionate! Donna checks all the boxes!
Donna is very comfortable to talk to.
Donna has been a great resource in helping deal with all the things life throws at us. She is a great listener, you can genuinely feel her sense of wanting to help you. I feel heard by her and appreciate her honest and realistic advice on situations.
One of the most patient individuals, and meets me right where I am at!
Donna is a wonderful resource and makes therapy comfortable. She has surprised me with her knowledge of industries and other lines of work. You can really tell she is an active listener and enjoys this line of work. I appreciate her ability to adapt her style to best suit my needs. Whether you want her to listen, or actively engage and ask questions to stimulate thoughts. Very much enjoying the journey so far.
Our first session and I felt listened to and a beginning plan of action. I really appreciate that.
Donna made me feel comfortable right from the beginning. I have really benefited from our time together.
Donna is great. She is super attentive. She definitely knows her field and always is able to get to the root cause of my issues. I would highly recommend her to anyone!
Donna is incredible. I was a mess for several days straight and she helped me organize my thoughts and pull myself together
I don’t even know where to begin. What I can say is…that this experience has been life changing. Donna puts so much in perspective for me. She gives me room to be imperfect, to speak my truth, and to feel validated. And still, she nudges me to adopt some new ideas and behaviors. I’m really appreciative of this experience with Donna. Thank you.
i told my girlfriend and coworkers the same thing, "My therapist asks the best questions, and i hate it. i hate it because it's the ones i needed to hear and answer and would never have on my own. The best questions asks to actually help me.". As silly as that is, it's a great review, trust me.
She is very supportive in helping me.
Very friendly and accommodating. Thank you!
