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.

Financial restrictions are the only reason I'm putting a hold on therapy at the moment. David is fantastic -- exactly what I was looking for in a therapist -- and hope that he would be wiling and able to take me back on as a patient, once I'm able to re-enroll.

I’ve only been working with David for a short time. But in that time he’s helped me organize my thoughts, and helped me strive for a better future even if I don’t feel like I’ll see it. I truly believe that I’m not the only one that’s been helped by this respectful, caring, and thoughtful man. Sincerely, thank you David.

David is awesome. Somehow he knows what to say to make me take a step back and think and most of the time it sticks with me. He uses actual facts to explain to you what your issues are after listening to you explain them. This perspective is useful to overcome hard situations in life. He’s great.
