Joe is a very patient and understanding man. He listens well and has great input at appropriate times. I find him to be very compassionate and professional. This is my first therapist ever so I don't know how he compares to others, but I gotta say he has to be a shining example of what a therapist does and he definitely cares about the people he is working with.

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.
