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.

Katie is a great therapist. She has helped me to gain a better understanding of my situation. She guides you to help you figure out what you think is the best method of handling an issue. She never tells you what path to take or judges your methods. I'm so thankful to have her as my therapist.

This is the first time that I’ve found a therapist with better help that I feel works for me. I greatly appreciate her personality and listening skills. She makes the hard easier.

Very kind and considerate. As well as super helpful!

Jun 2023

I’ve only had one video session with Katie so far, but from that and our messaging I feel truly comfortable and enjoy her feedback. I’m confident in our partnership to work through my concerns.

Jan 2023

She's the best, enough said! In the short amount I've been with her, I have become stronger and more confident than ever before. I now know how to deal with my problems with a much better out look. I couldn't ask for a better therapist!

Katie is very good at helping you find the joy in life . She provides many different ways to help. She has a great way of simplifying avenues to overcome some of the blocks I've encountered during my mental health journey. She is amazing !!

Nov 2022

Omg, Katie is such a great person and therapist! She makes you feel understood and helps you navigate through your feelings and problems very easily. She has given me amazing tips and tricks to deal with stress and anxiety and setting boundaries. When I first started with her I felt so lost and hopeless — she defiantly helped me un scramble everything and now I feel like I see the light at the end of the tunnel. I am really grateful I was partnered with her ! 10000/10 recommend!

Sep 2022

So far so good!!!

She a good friend and therapist and I think everyone should go through her, when it comes to therapy

E.V.·Jul 2022

Katie's style is very soul searching; yet, very positive. It may hurt but you will find yourself seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. She listens patiently while I journey down rabbit holes. She gracefully rails me back in to the real world. Not the one I built on a lot of misinformation.
