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.

Vanessa is exactly what I want in a therapist. Very to-the-point, and responsive, and respectful.
I love her! She's real, down to earth but makes you look in the mirror and do the work! She doesn't judge but she will ask you the hard questions.
She’s absolutely sensational. Top notch therapist. She is 1 of 1.
Vanessa has helped me in so many ways, I really don’t know where to start. I used to live in my emotions, see-sawing between extreme lows and vibrant highs and all I could do was feel. It impacted everything in my life from work to dating and my eating habits. It’s unrealistic to say that I’m “better” or “cured” but I can see reality even my when my emotions are out of control and I have things in my “toolkit” now that I’m successfully able to tap into. I know the journey isn’t over but I am profoundly grateful for the impact Vanessa has had on my life.
Vanessa is great, she’s an active listener, she gives awesome feedback. I will definitely recommend her to anyone.
She has a special gift to see and hear what others cannot in people.

Vanessa is so kind and understanding and she listens. Everyone needs a therapist like her!
Absolutely lovely therapist who made me feel so validated and understood and also helped mediate between me and my best friend. I thought it was nearly a lost cause but she and I are communicating so much better now, and my mental health is in a much better place.
Vanessa is a wonderful. She is a great listener and has helped me so much in just a couple of sessions!
She's absolutely fabulous and very patient
I absolutely love Vanessa. She has made therapy enjoyable :)
I love Vanessa so much! She is dedicated, timely and relatable. I went through 3 other therapists before finding her and she talks to me like a second mom! I have so much hope that I can work through my thoughts and learn to be more self compassionate with her help!
