I was pretty nervous to start with yet another new therapist, especially one solely online. Alyssa has made me feel so comfortable in opening up and talking about what’s going on in my life. She offers a variety of ways to meet as well which makes it even easier for me to open up. I would highly recommend Alyssa to anyone new to therapy, or even looking for a better therapist.

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.
