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.

John is great! He gave me an extra hour of counseling when I needed it. Gave me really good advice that I genuinely considered and tried to implement more into my life. Really goes in depth with your past and see's how it can contribute to your habits and personality. Also knows CBT and DBT and gives his honest advice and perspective. Really great working with him. Thank you John

John is a wonderful therapist. Conversations are easy going like with a friend you’ve known for 10+ years. He’s truly there to help in any way he can.

I was honestly skeptical about the whole “therapy” thing for a while. Then I was paired with John, and he really helped me in ways that have put me on a better path. He is patient, caring, and genuine. He loves the Lord and has real experience dealing with the hardships of life which gives him good insight.

I have to thank God for John McRee. It's important to speak with believers of the same faith. John is a Christian man, believer in Jesus Christ, Counselor and Therapist. One of Gods best! I was in shambles. Jesus guided me to John and with John helped me through the turmoil and back into Jesus' light, stronger faith, hope and love. Thank you Jesus! Thank you John for answering the call, from Jesus and from me.

John is an incredible, down to earth and straight forward guy! Isn’t afraid to say it how it is, asks the real questions, but also is calm, collected and caring when push comes to shove. Really enjoying my time working with him and the building blocks we’ve put in place.

John McRee is an excellent listener. He is very meticulous and caring. He takes notes of all what a patient has to say, reviews them and addresses every point carefully. He also revises all points covered/raised during the session before he closes up to make sure all concerns were addressed. He is a genuine person. I highly recommend him. I made (LEAPS) towards healing with him.
