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.

Courney helped me tremendously with my issues that I had been suffering with for 3 years now. My life is so much better now thanks to Courtney!!
Courtney mixes her professionalism with a friendly conversation that is relaxing. She listens and responses with helpful advice.
I have had two sessions with Courtney so far and she’s great! I couldn’t ask for a better therapist. She listens to me and helps me understand myself and my past. Outside of sessions she responds fairly quickly. So glad I got her as my first therapist ever!
I’m not someone who easily opens up but I am able to talk to her like I’ve known her for years. She’s helped me through some of my more private struggles I’m not likely to share with others. She validated my feelings and gives me advice on how to communicate better with my loved ones.
I have recommended Courtney to 2 friends already
Courtney is wise beyond her years and helps me recognize the needs I’m trying to express. She is enthusiastic and kind. A great cheerleader.
I have only met with Courtney three times thus far, but I absolutely adore her. I finally find a therapist that fits me and my style and it feels so good! We are still getting into the swing of things, but I know her and I will achieve a lot working together!
My family has just started working with Courtney and she has been extremely helpful and has great insights.
Courtney is an amazing therapist ! Talking to her is like talking to an old friend about something . She is a great listener and is really great at knowing what my primary concerns are . I would highly recommend her !
Courtney is very, very good. She is extremely attentive to what my issues are and allows me to guide the agenda. Yet, when she has a point, she makes it clear, and that is very helpful. She helps me make some important mental connections through open-ended conversation. I am much appreciative.
Like her a lot!
