Karen has changed my life in so many ways. Couldn't be more grateful to learn from her. I trust her so much. She sees me! She is so gifted at what she does. I wish I could have found Karen YEARS ago.

Reviewed July 2024

Karen knows her stuff! She's already given me insight that has been so valuable and we're only two sessions in. I cannot wait to keep learning from her! She's warm, has a great sense of humor, and a great listener.

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.
