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.

She was very helpful and listened to me and would give the best advice she could or have me think in new ways i didn't think about.
Jodie is amazing. She is thoughtful & listens. She presents helpful contrast & inquiring questions. She really provides a space to explore thoughts & emotions, all of which helps with processing how you’re really feeling about “__”. (Insert problem). I greatly appreciate our sessions & the healthy conversation that challenges my self talk.
She’s cool sweet and allows you to open up.
so kind and patient.
