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.

Dawn Clay is a phenomenal therapist. She is relatable and treats you like a respected individual. She offers great insight and a multitude of tools to help you cope and grow between sessions. She is good at reading you as an individual and knowing what you need even before you know yourself or before you say it. I couldn't ask for a better therapist!
