It’s my first couple sessions with Dr Allen but I really feel like I have made much more progress than my last therapists. Partially because I’m coming in it with a goal and not out of desperation but also because I feel like my therapist speaks to me and holds me accountable and supported in a way I would hold myself accountable and support myself. I feel like someone is speaking to me and advising me in the way I actually understand

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.
