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.

Brenda helped me a lot. She listened and helped me with many exercises to cope with things that were going on in my life!
Brenda is amazing. I always feel better after each and every session. Her advise is always very helpful and she has helped me in many ways. I am very grateful that I found her when I did.
Brenda is a wonderful listener. She validates my thoughts and feeling and helps to work through them. Her "homework" has been helping a lot and I actually look forward to our next sessions.
Brenda is a comfortable person to talk about my issue with. She took the time to understand why it was bothering me and would ask questions that dug deeper into the issue. Talking about it with her made me realize certain things I was doing that was giving me major anxiety. Now, that I see what I've been doing to generate my anxiety, I'm like why was I ever doing that to myself? But yeah, she is a good person to talk with because she points out certain things that I didn't notice for myself.
