Carol is a wonderful therapist who has a deep understanding of the topics we discuss and how best to help. She offers insights during our calls and often follows up with articles, books, or other resources that she thinks I might find helpful. She also has an amazing memory of things we discuss and helps me put certain pieces together that I would not have realized on my own. I feel very grateful to be working with her.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
