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.

Carmen has been great! Very patient and the listening ear that I needed. She helped me sort out my thoughts and be able to speak about my trauma in a safe place as I didn’t have anyone else available to do so. Sometimes we just need a present ear to help us see what we sometimes can’t see so that we can better asses ourselves. It’s been great!
