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.

She has been great
My therapist is very helpful and insightful and has been challenging me to think about things in a different way,which I think I need.
I love Desireé, she's a great therapist and I love to enjoy talking to her. She's been a great outlet for being comfortable to opening up about literally anything to technically a complete stranger
