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 talked myself out of therapy for years. Why? Because “I can handle it” “I’m stronger than that” “It’s really not that bad” . Meeting Dr. Bachmann was the best thing that happened to me in 2022. They say its “all about timing “ and I agree. She is engaged, listens well, and brings perspective. Very happy I found her!

She listens and cares.

Sep 2022

I decided to stop therapy in years past due to not finding the right therapist for me. When I came back, I was optimistic but nervous. Dr. Bachmann has met and exceeded all of my expectations. She is very kind and inviting while at the same time so intelligent and innovative. We discuss a complex list of life issues and she has been able to support me in all of them in numerous ways. I feel very comfortable working with her and can see results from our sessions, homework and practices I have put into place under her direction. I plan on continuing with therapy for a long time due to being paired with Dr. Bachmann. I would highly recommend her to friends, family, colleagues, you name it. She is a great person and a fantastic therapist.
