Only had one session with Leigh Ann Tedesco and already I feel a bit better. Can't wait to continue my sessions.

Reviewed February 2024

Leigh Ann Tedesco helped me greatly through a rough patch I was having. She honest, respectful and kind through all of our sessions. The best aspect was we found common ground to just have normal conversions and at times it was like talking to a friend. I’d recommend her to anyone.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
