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.

Deb is a great source of advice, stability, understanding, and support. She listens, remembers and has been extremely wonderful during a transition in my life. I have never gone to therapy before and now have recommended it to many!
Deborah is down to earth and she's a great listener who seems to really want to help me, even if all I need is to chat about the past week and what I experienced.
Deb is thoughtful, approachable, understanding, and clearly very knowledgeable. She’s helped me gain new perspective in a short time, and is always willing to offer new strategies for problem solving. I highly recommend!
Deb is phenomenal. She made me feel great during and after our first session. I am thankful she was assigned to be!
I love how Dr. Deb listens and respects my thoughts. She gives me homework to do and it has been a huge help with my therapy. She has really helped me to grow and find myself.
She a great listener with awesome feedback. she makes me think about things different rather than simply agreeing and i like that!
