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.

I’m so glad i got matched with Dr T. After a bad first experience with another therapist i was about to give up, but she encouraged me to give it another go and i’m so glad i did! Building a therapeutic alliance with Dr T has been super rewarding, and although the work is hard, i’m glad i’m doing this for myself. Dr T will come in clutch with statements that blow everything wide open and she’s exactly what i need in my life now.

Dr. T is an incredible therapist. She creates a safe, engaging space where I feel safe to share my thoughts and experiences. She regularly holds me accountable for my actions and helps me to foster more healthy thought processes. Through working with her, I have been able to meet myself where I am currently in my mental and emotional states, but also feel motivated in setting achievable goals for being a healthier and more present version of myself. I am very grateful to have Dr T in my life, and hope to continue working with her. Thanks for being the best, Dr T!

Dr. Harvey is a rare human being: both expert in her field, attentive to specific therapeutic goals we have set together, and extremely present, focussed, thoughful and kind. She is never afraid to share insights or not, intuiting the needs of the moment. I would recommend her unconditionally to anyone who feels stuck and is ready for some gentle, consistent and prodding.
