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.

Excellent
He is a great listener and an excellent therapist. It’s like talking to a friend. :)
Muy buen therapists
Honestly, can’t put into words how grateful I feel to have connected with Oren. Feels like we align on a lot of things and he’s very quickly become some what of a mentor to me. We have, what feels like, a great friendship all the while maintaining a very professional relationship, which is what I believe to be the most ideal Therapist - Client dynamic. His perspective, anecdotes, and delivery are always on time! Thankful for you Oren.
My therapist is a great listener and allows the client to feel comfortable while speaking with him. First session was great, the insight and feedback that he provided was awesome. I look forward to learning more from him and I also would like to say that he keeps my back even when we are not having a session. What that means is that he checks on me from time to time. I recommend that everyone has a Mr. Hernandez to talk to.
Oren has been an incredible support system in my treatment and mental health improvement. I appreciate his timely feedback and approach to my needs and helps develop a plan towards improvement. Great partner and coach.
