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.

Sam is a wonderfully caring individual and a great therapist!
He is a very good listner, and also very heart warming.always give advice and feed back which are helpful to me.
I’ve had therapy with Samuel for the past year a half, and he’s one of the best out there! Samuel is compassionate and caring, but he’s also real with you and speaks to you like a friend. His guidance has helped me get through everyday life, so I can’t recommend him enough! 10/10
Great therapist
Sam is always helpful and upbeat. His recommendations over the course of these couple of months have already helped me grow and even look at things from a different perspective. If someone is on the fence about therapy I would highly recommend it and of course highly recommend Sam.
Samuel has helped me greatly through his confident guidance. I would highly recommend him for people dealing with anxiety!
Samuel doesn’t pull any punches and he has a wonderful way of getting to the root cause and effect of issues and situations. He has numerous suggestions for me to become a better person. He is very respectful and relevant. Thank you Samuel. I look forward to talking to you every time we have a session…
Sam has been a great source of structure and optimism to help me wrestle with the anxiety of daily life. He asked poignant questions and exudes great warmth and positivity. I'm relatively new to therapy, but his approach is grounding and validating.
Amazing listener . Empathetic .
My first session with Samuel was great. He offered a thoughtful structure to our discussion, with pointed questions and great insight where appropriate. He listened and heard what was being said-and what wasn't.
I had my first session with Samuel and it made me feel a lot more normal. I feel like there is something to work towards now and I’m looking forward to further sessions.
Sam is the best
Samuel is a great listener and proactive therapist, he is calm when he needs to and energetic when the session demands it. I'm really happy to have been matched with him as my therapist.
Mr. Chesterfield has already helped me more than I can express. I am grateful for this platform.
Sam is wonderful
Samuel has a very constructive approach toward his sessions; he listens and provides thoughtful feedback when communicating with his clients. I would definitely recommend him!
Sam is great. You never know how well you're going to get along with a new therapist, but sessions with Sam went well immediately. He has a really warm personality, asks good questions, and seems to have a plan for the sessions, which I like.
My first session with Samuel went really well. I’m new to therapy and had let Samuel know. He was very welcoming and empathetic while still maintaining a clear sense of direction for the session. His candid humor also helps alleviate the stress of undergoing therapy.
Ive only had 1 session so my review is not really applicable at the moment but for a quick first time was very easy to talk about what i wanted to talk about which was a concern i thought id have
Samuel is an outstanding listener. He’s well versed in helping to see yourself and demonstrating self care techniques. Very conversational, which makes it very easy to be transparent.
I'm able to talk about ANYTHING. I also struggle with answering questions without getting distracted which has caused frustration to others but with Sam, it's like he allows that to grow into something natural and by the end of the session i always feel like there's a full circle outcome.
After 3 sessions , I feel comfortable and confident moving forward. Looking forward to the future.
Samuel is an enthusiastic support in my career and financial goals. Working with Samuel has helped me calm the overwhelm in my head while helping me focus on the next steps right in front of me. He listens, cares and reminds you that though the challenges you face are very real, you can still find away to work with yourself instead of against yourself to achieve the things you want out of life.
Good tone of speaking. I sense empathy and intelligence in the subject matter.
