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 who offers insightful guidance.
The best!
an amazing therapist, i couldn’t imagine having another one. she is so nice and everything will always be at your pace and when you’re ready to talk about it.
I was very happy to work through my emerging family difficulties with Stephanie. She was super respectful of my choices and provided me with great advice about how to approach my relationships with family members who were not respectful of those choices. She really helped me keep perspective when I needed it most.
She is amazing I just started a session with her week ago. She listens and actually cares about what you are saying.
I love how she treats me
Stephanie is a wonderful therapist. She is knowledgeable, kind, and considerate.

I always feel 100xs better after my sessions with Stephanie
My first ever therapy session in my life and and Stephanie Smith made it so easy that I'm not nervous about doing my sessions and I'm ready to move forward in my therapy
Stephanie is sweet, very personable she has wonderful advice. She's a pleasure to talk to
Stephanie has helped me through so much these past few months that I’ve been working with her. She’s related to me on so many topics and I’ve always looked so forward to talking to her every week. She’s one of the best people that I’ve ever spoken with.
Stephanie Smith is the best therapist I have ever had. Out of the 7 therapists I’ve seen, she is by far the easiest to talk to, the most understanding, and the most helpful, especially when I need it the most. She always responds in a timely manner, she holds me accountable when it’s necessary, and she helps me be my best self. I would recommend her to anybody and everybody that needs a good, reliable therapist. In fact, I have recommended her to a couple of my friends. If you’re looking for the best therapist, whether on this platform or beyond, you’ve found her.
I’ve visited with many therapists and none of them clicked until I met Stephanie. She’s been the absolute best and I love that it can feel like I’m just having a conversation with a friend. She’s very personable and I felt seen, heard, and understood. So grateful to have found her.
She is really nice and very supportive and very intelligent probably one of the best in her field strongly recommend her all the time
Listens well and recommends solutions that help with daily activities
Stephanie has helped me a TON! I was a wreck when we met, and I’m much more mellow than I was 3 months ago.
Stephanie has been amazing!
During my initial session with Stephanie, I was blown away by how quickly she "got me" She knew exactly where I was coming from and mirrored my own thoughts before I shared them aloud. She gave me actionable items to work on and I already feel as thought I'm on the path to achieving my goals!
Definitely recommend! This is my first experience in therapy and I was hesitant at first but I love that she ask questions and truly cares. I also like that she finds worksheets specific to my needs
Stephanie is responsive and wants to help me "dig into" my problems.
Stephanie is accessible, understanding and compassionate. She is helping me with fried and anxiety and I feel confident in her approach.
Stephanie is encouraging and supportive and really helped me! I highly recommend her.
usually, i feel worse after therapy sessions; not with stephanie. i leave the session feeling much better, and ready to take on my issues in a better, more insightful way. she’s the only therapist i’ve had that makes me feel like i can really open up.
She is wonderful. I had my first session with her and she was amazing. I was kinda nervous about how it would go. But she made me feel so comfortable and relaxed. I can talk to her about anything. She is amazing. I give her 10 out of 10. I would recommend her to anyone who needs help. Expecialy females. She is wonderful and kind and so understanding. I appreciate her
Stephanie is extremely intuitive and extremely kind. She genuinely seems to care.
Since working with Mrs. Stephanie, she has helped me in so many ways and I can see that in daily life. I couldn’t be more happy to have her and I would definitely recommend her to other people. I really appreciate everything she has done to help me.
