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.

She’s been great and we connect very well! I was nervous at first to start better help but overall I received the help I needed
Great listener and knows exactly when to throw in those little pearls of wisdom.
Catherine has been amazing. I was very unsure about therapy coming into my first initial session with her after my past experiences with therapists. But she has been so kind and attentive and supportive. She listens to the problem and doesnt just help find a solution she makes absolute sure you find a solution that works for you and that you would be comfortable doing alone. Shes truly been a blessing to me and my mental health.
She's great
Catherine helped me when I was very distraught. She opened my eyes to alot of concepts I wasn’t aware I am suffering from. It has been a wonderful experience!
She is an amazing person. So full of love and care. I feel that she really hears me and takes the time to learn my way of thinking in order to really help in a way I understand. She is a warm and loving soul.
Fantasic listener who knows exactly how to shake the nonsense out and let the real reasons begind things shine
Catherine is an extremely talented therapist. She is warm, engaged, and insightful. I always leave our sessions with new insights, different ways to reframe things, and very often, additional resources that I can take a look at between sessions. She is responsive to messages that I send between sessions. I can't recommend her enough.
I been seeing her for a year I feel that I have gotten a lot better from this tragic breakup and I'm moving forward with my life and I'm able to talk even though it's sometimes the same thing over and over she still listens I think she's great.
Catherine listens well, offers very useful insight, and provides me with tools that are beneficial in my situation. Thank you!
Catherine is a wonderful therapist. I always leave our sessions feeling heard and inspired to keep doing the work.
Love her, availability is difficult currently. She’s very attentive and amazing. Just need more availability.

Catherine is extremely supportive and responsive. She helps me to change my perspective and always gives me food for thought that I can take with me into the next week in between our video sessions. Very grateful to be working with her.
Catherine Sims has been amazing to work with. She understood my concerns and built a strong relationship then helped me to find strategies and resources to bring me to a better place mentally. So thankful to have the opportunity to work with her.
It's a good deal, it's nice to be able to contact someone outside of my circle
Cathy Sims is just the absolute best. I am so grateful to have her in my life and in my corner.
I just started seeing Catherine and I feel very good about my experience so far, I can't give an in depth review since we've just started out... but I gotta say that I feel really positive about this whole experience and Catherine seems like a great fit for my complicated needs!
Catherine is a wonderful therapist. She is caring, thoughtful, knowledgeable. I really appreciate how she helps me shift my perspective so I can gain insights and grow.
