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.

Love penny!
I strongly suggest Penny if you are seeking help. Penny is very attentive, kind, patient and she has a great sense of humor. what I like about her is that she isn't just there to listen, but she also engages with the conversation, and provides other forms of communication as fit for you in case you are camera shy like me.
Penny is phenomenal and she is so supportive and committed to understanding the situation that I am going through and to working with me to understand how and why I think and behave in certain ways and to begin to take control of my emotions and channel them in more constructive ways to improve the way I communicate in my relationship with my spouse and my family. She is great at helping me see how I might have disordered thinking patterns that I developed from childhood that have carried on into adulthood that aren’t serving me as an adult and how to recognize those thoughts and handle them appropriately. She has been very helpful in pushing me to be more self aware of my own thoughts and feelings and understanding what is really driving them. Highly recommend her to anyone who struggles with anger and dealing with life as an adult who grew up in abusive, violent or otherwise dysfunctional families
Penny has an issues plan and also does a wonderful job of pivoting topics to my changing week. Her background is a wonderful source of problem-solving in my life.
I love Penny. She is so.personable and easy to talk to .
Amazing therapist! She listens to my needs, and I feel heard. She is very positive and always reassures me that she is here if I need her. That's something that is so very important to me. I highly recommend her!
Great listener and empathizes well. She really cares
Penny has been an instrumental part of my healing since day one. She listens and provides the safety to be open and vulnerable without judgment! I really enjoyed working with her and am very grateful she and I have crossed paths. She’s a beautiful blessing!
She is so helpful and compassionate. I am grateful beyond explanation.
Penny as been a great help to since I started this app. She has taught me skills and techniques to better deal with my challenges. She is amazing.
Penny has been super helpful with all problems that arise in my life. She’s easy to talk to, very friendly and makes me feel welcome. She gives great advice and listens to my problems and gives ideas in which I could improve in my life. Definitely recommend talking with her.
Penny is an absolute blessing, I feel she is the first person who truly understands me. She has always celebrated my small goals, even when I didn’t feel it should be celebrated. With her guidance I know I can accomplish the things I need to.
