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.

Jul 2024

Talking to BJ is like talking to a close friend. She offers a different perspective on what I share with her which gives me new ways to view the issues I face. I always leave a session either feeling accomplished or she gives me tools to dive deeper into my life to bring about understanding. If you want someone who’s authentic, of faith, listens and give sound feedback, then I would suggest giving her a try.
