Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Sandy is a great listener. She offers helpful insights and potential solutions without judgement. Thank you, Sandy!
Sandy is a very qualified therapist. She is extremely patient, thoughtful and helpful. She has great insight and has offered a great therapy experience when I didn’t think such an experience was possible.
I have been in a lot of therapy and Sandy is top notch. Very respectful and very easy to talk to.
She's great
Based on my experience, the hardest client is the retired therapist. Sandy has been terrific at it - patient, kind, relaxed, and just perfect for me. And she laughs at my dumb jokes, which is a real bonus. Boy, did I get lucky!
I’ve only had two sessions with Sandy, and she has helped me tremendously already! I am so glad I signed up!
Sandy has listened to me over the past 3 weeks talk about past trauma and as been helping me through this break up. She’s listens to me and gives me the advice I need
She makes me feel like life is doable. I've only half 2 sessions and already I feel so much better.
She’s 100 percent on top of her game! Pay her more!
Sandy has been a great therapist. I really appreciate her attentiveness and how she approaches our sessions.
Highly recommend
I greatly appreciate Sandy and all her help!
Sandy seems tailor-made for me. It never feels like I get...for lack of a better word..."clinical" response to any concerns I bring up. I feel safe, encouraged, and empowered after our interactions.
While it’s only been a few weeks spending time in Sandy’s company, it’s time spent feeling safe and heard. She listens when it’s time to and speaks when it’s time to. She ask questions that really make me think, sometimes something I probably wouldn’t have thought to ask myself and yet needed to. I’m quite comfortable being myself with her and look forward to our chats.
She have been an extremely successful help !! All her advice has helped me to better myself, even when I didn’t want to listen.
She's done very well even though I haven't worked with her long. She's been helpful, encouraging and a good reminder for stuff that I sometimes forget.
She is amazing!
I highly recommend Sandy Drew. She is an intelligent, dedicated, and open-minded therapist who has helped me through difficult and trying times
Though we've spoken only once, I feel confident in her service. She makes me feel really at ease.
She is very responsible and respectful and I have enjoyed working with her. She has helped me alot
Fantastic support and expertise!
Sandy is amazing! She is approachable and an excellent listener. She knows just when to chime in and offer insights without being overbearing. I'm so grateful for her services.
Sandy is great. She is very grounded and practical about her approach and is able to give digestible feedback. She is easy to talk to and I appreciate her straightforwardness.
She listens to me and we are working on a lot of different ways to deal with the problems I have
So far, my sessions with Sandy have been great and I really appreciate her feedback on my journal entries.
Sandy has been a lifesaver. Her calm demeanor and sense of humor have helped me through a very difficult time. Don’t wait. She’s great!
Sandy was a perfect therapist for me and my mounting anxiety around many issues going on in my life at once. She has a great number of tools to offer to help you become an equal partner in your wellness journey. If I find life becomes too much again I will definately seek her out again.
Sandy is fantastic. Work with her if you can!
Sandy seems very nice and caring. I feel able to discuss my problems openly without judgement.
Amazing, attentive, encouraging...
Sandy is by far one of the best therapists I have ever had the pleasure of working with. She works with a wonderful blend of listening, providing feedback, providing thought provoking questions, and direction on how to further my therapy on my time and put things into practice. I have been through a lot and I can tell you Sandy has been exactly what I needed to make me successful in getting through it successfully.
Very helpful, good at listening to my feelings and giving empathetic and reassuring answers. Thank you for giving a lot of support when I was feeling the worst.
Sandy is caring and understanding! I love speaking with her.
Sandy has been wonderful. She has helped me through the hardest time of my life thus far. She’s a fantastic listener and is very experienced and gives great advice.
Sandy was compassionate, understanding, and a great listener. I am looking forward to my next session with her. I would recommend her to anyone looking for guidance.
Perfect for me.
She is a great listener!! And genuinely cares about her clients. She offers great advise. She is a rea pleasure to talk with!!!
Like the last time, she was attentive and compassionate!
You’re the best!
Sandy is very easy to talk to and is very responsive. She encourages me to do the work - she doesn't tell me what to do. I appreciate her and would recommend her anytime.
Sandy is amazing, personable and kind. She’s patient, she lets you know she understands you by way of repeating your concerns back to you later. I see her writing notes, just a small way of making me feel real to her! Thanks Sandy -“Dani”
Wow I’m a very cautious person with whom I let within my circle but let me say Sandy immediately felt like somebody I’ve known for my entire life made me feel comfortable, allowed me to speak honest and openly and did not judge only tried to piece things together and ask the right questions to make my brain fire up and reveal some things. I was so iffy about this but after speaking with her I know I should be doing this.
She’s wonderful !
Sandy Drew listens, makes me feel very comfortable and understood. I have only had a couple sessions with her and she has already offered some really great advice. She is really nice and asks questions to help you open up.
