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.

I am very appreciative of our session.
Rachel is amazing. She is not only a good listener but makes you feel comfortable to open up and get down to the issues and provides several suggestions on how to improve the situation. She also reaches out to check on you when you start to slide on the appointments showing that she truly cares for her patients. She is the best I have ever personally come across.
Rachel, in the short time I have been working with her, has given me such confidence and knowledge to live day by day! My stress and anxiety is at an all time low and honestly I feel like I am speaking to a friend! She truly listens and has such an open heart and mind to the things you need to share! She is a woman of God and that also brings me so much clarity!
Great advice giver.
Rachel is extremely easy to talk and open up too. Looking forward to our next session
