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.

so kind, patient, and understanding. i feel like i can be honest in our sessions and am very appreciative of John!
good
John so far as been able to help me even through technical problems we encountered during our sessions. It’s my first session and I think John can help me through my situations
I have had a few therapist and he is by fair my favorite. Completely intuitive and compassionate. I love the worksheets because it solidify what we spoke about in each session
I’ve always been fearful of therapy and being judged for my past experiences or mindset. John does an amazing job bringing a comforting, respectful, and active change mindset to the table. I already feel myself having deeper introspective thoughts and analyzing myself more. Highly recommend him for anyone who feels they want to take their life in a new, positive thinking and acting direction. He’s a great listener with even greater advice.
John is a great therapist and has been invaluable in helping me to identify goals for myself to improve my mental health! John recognizes the value in a collaborative approach, working with me to help me determine what I can do for myself, which is empowering!
John has a kind heart, very empathetic and a great listener. A great therapist to pick!
John is a fantastic therapist; when I talk to him about my issues and concerns, he allows me to have that safe space to open up without feeling judged. He also is excellent at helping me focus on building accountability with my partner because of the homework and worksheets he gives me so that I can check in with him and rebuilding my relatiopnship.
John knows what someone needs to hear to find confidence in themselves again, and knows exactly when you need someone to ask how you are when nobody else will.
He’s cool, and he listens to me
