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.

I feel like Leah really listens to me. She checks in with me often and I feel like she really cares about me as a person, not just a client. I appreciate her being my sounding board for all the things I'm going through.
Leah is such a great person to talk to. She makes me feel very comfortable when I’m sharing how I’m feeling and offers helpful advice.
She is amazing:)
