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.

Sahntanyna is a great therapist. She’s a rare experience for me. She listens to me talk and then gives me tools to “try on” that are really beneficial to addressing the conflicts in my life. I come from a diverse background and she listens to understand and helps me figure out the best way to solve this issue in my shoes. She has given me tools to support and listening ear at a time where I needed it the most. I would not hesitate in booking her.
