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.

Cathy always listens to me and makes me think outside of the box. She makes me realize things in a different light. She always makes me feel comfortable and reassured that my feelings are aloud and are understandable. Thank you for having such a great caring person on your team.

Cathy is the best, she listens to me and challenges me to think differently. She always makes sure my mental health is on point. She also makes sure to let me know it’s ok to have feelings. If it wasn’t for her I don’t know where I would be. I’m stronger, more positive, and finally love myself for me

I have been talking to Cathy for almost two months now. It has been a game changer for me, offloading things I thought i had always dealt with. Cathy’s show of support, encouragement, and ability to listen has really helped me find my way and get back to myself. I have found the work sheets Cathy has offered have been helpful and often have me thinking from a different perspective For me Cathy has been the stepping stone I needed, amongst other tools for my mental well-being

Amazing person

Reviewed November 2022

Catherine is terrific, she listens well and then challenges me to think differently about myself. I have been with her a short time and figured out myself and love myself again. She taught me it's ok to be sad but not ok to put mydf down. Sad he had been a blessing for me, Catherine even answers me when I text her at all hours of the day. She keeps me positive with my worksheets and journaling. I cannot tell you how much she has been a positive influence in my life
