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.

He's the best
Coleman is a good listener and offers non judgemental, constructive advice.
Excellent therapist. Easy to talk to, insightful and knowledgeable
I’m very early days in with Coleman but the help I’ve received so far, especially with the on the spot situations, has been fantastic. He always responds quickly whenever I’ve needed him and really remembers key points from our previous sessions.
the best!
He’s great and welcoming. Not stoic or robotic like I expected. He has made this experience worthwhile.
He is great! He is clearly experienced and knows how to make you feel like you matter.
I may have only had 1 live session so far, he seems very attentive and seems to understand how to help me.
Excellent therapist who's willing to work with you at the level you're at.
Coleman creates a safe space where you can fully express yourself and work on core issues that matter to you.
Having a friendly person to talk to, open up and share the very innermost issues and then see all of that fall onto a ground of acceptance, appreciation and honest wishes to help and support… that makes a good therapist in my opinion. Coleman Thompson is all that. I cannot talk about expertise, since I am not in his field, but I can tell he is the best meaning person you could wish for. For me, it helps a lot that I can just talk and share everything, in all the detail I can give at the moment or none at all - all is good an okay. And that is really helpful.
Amazing therapist! Very professional but not "robotic" i guess as some therapists/counselors can be. Truly knows what to say to help me through issues im having and listens well. :)
It’s good to talk to your friends and family but it feels amazing to talk to someone who is specialist, thank you.
Coleman makes me feel understood, is extremely supportive and offers me a variety of ways and options to work through my struggles together. Can absolutely recommend him!
Coleman is a warm and kind therapist. He provides reasonable solutions to assist with any issues you may have.
Coleman has been very helpful with my current relationship conflicts. He’s vary approachable and calm. Very much like your just talking with a friend
Coleman is very attentive to my needs and provides many options to help with my path moving forward. Very easy to speak to and look forward to working together ongoing!
Attentive. Willing to listen to what bothers you, and help you work through them.
Coleman is fantastic at looking for the root of your issues rather than bandaging wounds that have been there for awhile. He listens and gives great insight to what he sees going on in your life. He is also readily available and will check in on you between sessions.
Relaxed and insightful. Coleman worked well with my situation and was able to adapt our sessions extremely well as things progressed. I would highly recommend him.
My therapist is a cool laid back type of person and I love the fact that he doesn't give out advices he will speak from the heart and what he knows.
