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.

Excellent therapist highly recommended
Enjoining my experience with Svetlana and highly recommend her. Extremely good listening skills, patient and non judgmental. Give her a chance to help you, I’m sure you will find her very helpful and a pleasure to work with. Good luck in your journey to become a better person
Svetlana is a blessing! She is genuine and listens and is kind. She is understanding. She is exceptional and I do not know what I would do without her. She has helped me get through some of my darkest times and is supportive. Amazing!
I love her! She's great and very supportive and helps me in every way
I was afraid of therapists because I'd been through a lot of ones who didn't make me feel safe heard or even respected. I was so nervous talking to her I'm sure my face was red but she was warm and she listened and had a gentle approach and actually gave me things to work on instead of feeling like I'm still really doing this all by myself. I've yet to really get to know her but the most important things to me were met, she's safe.
