Kelly is so wonderful. I was hesitant to get back into therapy but she made it so easy. She really listens to me and guides me through problems in a low key way, and allows me to direct the conversation with whatever is weighing on me at the time. She is really great with using the chat feature which was important to me. Would recommend her to friends, especially those on the younger side who might be intimidated by video meetings.

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 am thankful for a someone and somewhere I feel safe talking about my issues. Kelly is awesome.
Kelly has been super supportive and understanding of the relational struggles I have been going through and has always been willing to help me take a different look at things. She is non-judgmental and I always leave feeling better than I came into session.
Kelly is awesome! Very supportive and patient-focused. She lets me set the agenda for the conversation, and is super adaptable in supporting whatever topic I want to discuss that day. She also shows investment in my well-being, going so far as to check in on me if I’ve forgotten to schedule an appointment. I can’t recommend her enough if you want a chill-energy, supportive therapist who is great at utilizing the live chat feature.
Kelly is great, empathetic, supportive and truly wants her clients to feel their best and overcome whatever challenges they are facing. She offers practical, applicable steps to take for facing problems.
Kelly is absolutely amazing and very attentive. She is very in tune with all my concerns and is very easy to speak to. Game changer for sure
I’m very happy I found Kelly, she’s a great listener, always has follow up questions to make me think, and I value her feedback and guidance.
