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 is very communicative, understanding and helps me get to the root of my problems
Loretta is extremely qualified for the position. She is articulate, thoughtful, and kind in the most professional way possible. It is clear that she takes pride in what she does. I have never felt so comfortable opening up to a complete stranger. I know that’s the whole point of therapy but, Loretta makes sense of the madness that is my inner thought process. I have quite a nasty habit of making my problems not important. She has gone out of her way to make me feel important for things I never thought I would. Loretta is a wonderful therapist. I couldn’t recommend her enough.
