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.

Joi has been extremely helpful in my journey of self betterment. She is an amazing bouncing board for plans, goals, and ideas; giving great advice on how to achieve them and make them have manageable steps instead of them staying as daunting concepts. She is also great at working through the tougher emotional baggage and pinpointing the triggers that bring it up, the first few developmental instances, and how it plays as obstacles in my day to day life. Joi has been great at catching my negative self talk, pointing it out to me when I am unaware, and reminding me to redirect these thoughts or to counter them with positive truths. Joi has been an instrumental aide in my journey and I am exceptionally grateful to her and our weekly discussions.

Joi is absolutely wonderful. She is thoughtful, caring, and understanding. She truly gave me a new perspective on my situation and helped me see a better side of what I was going through. I would not be where I’m at now without her help.

Joi is extremely friendly. She is very good at asking the right questions to help me discover the triggers/causes of my anxiety. She also has amazing advice to help me try to stop the negative internal dialogue and instead focus on the more positive and productive thoughts. She is also helping me sort out my priorities and follow through on the many plans and lists my mind makes.

I can’t say enough good things about Joi. I’ve done talk therapy before and never had the help and results I’ve had with Joi in a very short time with her. I asked for her help in arming myself with the tools I need to navigate some tough relationships and she’s done that and more. She is so positive, encouraging, and genuine. She makes me think and she makes me proud of myself in ways I wasn’t before.
