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 is wonderful
Carole is an empathetic person. She does not waste time on providing me with immediate after-session tools to reinforce the breakthroughs that I experienced during our session. I am so grateful to her.
My therapist is very kind, patient, and understanding. There is no judgement from her, and it's extremely convenient to video chat.
Carole is a true gem!
She is empathetic, engaging, compassionate, very knowledgeable, patient, and flexible. I am feeling so much better about life thanks to her therapeutic counseling. Highly recommend her to anyone that needs help with caregiver stress, bereavement, and relationship dynamics at work and personal life.
Carole is empathetic and kind with a good sense of humor. Meeting with her has helped me navigate grief after losing my father in addition to “ burn out” at work.
Thank you for all that you do!
She’s wonderfully empathetic, knowledgeable, open-minded, non-judgmental, and joyful!
Carole is exceptional. She is really helping me. I highly recommend her.
In just two sessions, Carole has taken her time to establish an empathetic connection with me as she helps me navigate the stresses of caregiving and its effects on family dynamics, my job, and my life. I have much more to learn, but I’m very hopeful that Carole will guide me with her compassionate spirit.
