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.

I cannot emphasize enough just how amazing Siyama Drake is for numerous reasons. I would highly recommend her to anyone. She is extremely helpful, insightful, understanding, positive, empowering, strong-willed and makes me think about situations/scenarios in a different light. Just to highlight several of her strong points, she is amazing at: 1.) Identifying and understanding underlying problems and coming up with a multitude of different solutions 2.) Focusing on what my concern is and coming up with various strategies of how to overcome it 3.) Asking good questions about the surrounding concern/topic at hand and make me think outside the box regarding it 4.) Being positive 5.) finding healthy outlets/lifestyle modifications for me to focus on during the week These are definitely beneficial and helpful for me to recognize and understand the situation, think independently, have solutions and implement strategies for me. If there is a person to spend your time speaking with about anything, 5/5 stars would always recommend Siyama to anyone. Thank you Siyama for everything you do and help with. You are very much appreciated.
