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.

Tina is very wise and relatable!
She is a wonderful professional and Christian counceller. Always listening, understanding and finding the root of the issue. We admire her talent to help people.
I’ve only worked with Tina 2 times so far, but I came to therapy to feel more focused my life and I’m hopeful it will work.
Katina has been very professional and kind. She does take her time to listen to my concerns and needs and works with me to unpack it all. I feel lighter and I am glad I chose her as my therapist. My relationship has gotten better as a result of working with Katina.
Tina is a wonderful therapist. She is a very good listener and is helpful in every way. She schedules appointments based on the patients time which is wonderful. I would recommend her to anyone!
Tina is honestly such a blessing to those around her and in her life. I've never met someone so grounded and earthy, she's very casual with her approach and responds in a way that feels right. As someone who never tried therapy before, I was anxious about what therapy is and if the therapist would judge me or try to "fix" me. But it turned out to be totally different. I felt heard and honestly it's a great way to achieve personal goals. I recommend Tina!
She’s a great therapist and has helped me through quite a bit I’m very lucky that I got matched up with her
Absolutely amazing person to work with, you won't regret time with her!
Katina creates a really comfortable environment, there you feel safe to open up and she’s always so cheerful and kind that I always leave session feeling better
Talking to Tina is like talking to an old friend. But a friend who can give qualified and sound advise. She makes sure that I know that as her client I am a priority. I feel confident speaking to her openly and honestly.
She is a great therapist and is great to work with.
