I suffer from severe PTSD from assault and it’s hard for me to keep on a schedule or even leave my home sometimes. She is patient with me, understands me, and has helped me in so many ways. She believes me and in me. She has been one of the best therapists I’ve ever had. It’s done tremendous things for my mental health. I’ve always stopped therapy before or they fired me because I couldn’t keep my schedule straight nor could I leave sometimes, the options here make me feel safe and have made me develop healthy habits when it comes to therapy. Thank you for being the support I needed.

About online counseling

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.
