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.

Toni is very thoughtful and helpful.
Toni has been really helpful and so supportive. I really appreciate her therapy style and open and honest feed back. She has really gotten me through some things pretty quickly into our sessions. It was not hard to get comfortable talking to her. I’m glad we paired up.
Toni has been an ear when none seem available. She speaks when necessary, gives insight when needed, and listen always. I have loved my time with her and cannot recommend her enough.
