Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Bonnie, is a very welcoming and warm individual. She has helped me so much in such a short period of time and I always look forward to our sessions. She is very understanding, and listens to what my needs and worries are.
I have nothing but amazing things to say about Bonnie. She is patient, kind, and knowledgeable. I have only known her for a few months now, but the impact she has made on me and my life is huge. She has helped me tackle the most challenging battles thus far in my life. Love love love her!
She’s amazing and truly cares about her clients.
Bonnies was extremely helpful and understanding of my concerns. She created a safe environment for me to share freely and helped with dynamics in my life that were both expected and unexpected.
A great first experience with Eileen. She really seems to understand where I'm coming from and I feel that I will be able to get to the core of my issues with her. After feeling very anxious for a while now my session with her has left me in a much better place already and I look forward to continuing.
Bonnie has helped me in so many ways. I am so thankful for her.
Bonnie is a great therapist!! She really listened to what I had to say and provided great feedback and advice for me. She never stressed about going over the time limit and she really cared and wanted to help. I would recommend her to anyone that wanted to do therapy!
Bonnie is one of the few therapists I have been to where I felt like I was really able to say how I felt and felt heard by her. I look forward to our sessions!
Bonnie is great! I appreciate her listening along with her support which is much needed at this time with all the change I am under.
Bonnie Hires is an exceptional therapist. A therapist who listens to her patient intently, learns about and from her patient, shares her enormous wealth of knowledge and experience generously with her patient, is always there for her patient and more than anything - cares about her patient - and you feel it. She won´t let me say she saved my life but that´s what I think and feel. Thank you Bonnie from the bottom of my heart!
