I have had more than a few therapists throughout my adult life. Toni is wonderful. I feel very comfortable sharing with her. She always brings discussion back to my original goals and keeps things consistent while remaining open to exploring other things. She has the right balance really figured out and she's very attuned to her clients. I have been able to meet some very challenging goals through her help.

I appreciate how patient she is. It's always been hard for me to talk to people, and a lot of my experiences in therapy have been rough because of that. But she is very patient with me, and gently takes control of the conversation when I start to get a little emotional. So far, a very pleasant experience, and I look forward to my continued therapy with her.

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.
