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.

Alanna is a great listener and helps to de-escalate emotions. She brings a positive and hopeful energy to the conversation.
I worked with Alanna for the two months when I had some issues at work to deal with, she was a tremendous help! I highly recommend her whether you’re dealing with more place issues, life balance, or even relationships. She had a lot of insight and listened to everything I had to say! I will 100% speak with her again in the future.
She is very upbeat and understanding. I am new to therapy and she always answers in a timely manner and listens to my needs!
