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.

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:)
