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.

Deena is wonderful! She really listens.
Deena has been of great service and help to me!
Deena is the best therapist I’ve ever seen. We have a great relationship built around trust and respect.
Deena has been my ultimate support system and has helped me process my trauma in a healthy way
Deena is a great listener, and brings a non-judgemental pragmatism to each of our sessions. She is very easy to talk to and shares her extensive experience, without shoving it down your throat. Deena has helped me be better at self-reflection, and consistently validates my feelings, before helping me through them. I would recommend Deena to anyone seeking a guide, rather than a drill sergeant.
Deena is a great therapist. She’s very good at listening and coming up with good advices, She easy to talk to and make you feel at ease. I would highly recommend her.
Deena has seen me through a transitional time in my life and has been really supportive and active in trying to understand and unpack. To not get into too many details - I’m left here a better person and with a deeper understanding of myself.
Deanna is the best part of my week. Our conversations are rich and our time together has really improved my day-to-day
I needed someone who felt real and authentic; and that’s exactly what I found!
I feel very comfortable speaking with Deena, she listens - does not judge me. Offers good tips to help me regulate myself when emotions are in overdrive. I’m thankful I found her, I feel like I am actually getting the help that I need!
Deena is a great listener. She makes careful, good suggestions that are always doable. She is knowledgeable and very personable. I always feel lighter after a session and use the session to guide by growth until then next week.
She has worked really hard at building trust and helping through the process
Deena is the most accepting, supportive counselor I’ve ever partnered with. I’m so grateful.
Nice, normal therapist. Professional but not stuffy. Her pets sometimes intrude but then so do mine. Down to earth and unafraid to share her own personal experiences to help shed light on my own. I'm a bit unintentionally cryptic and she's able to help clarify my thoughts. Unconventional but effective.
Deena is a great listener and cares about me as a client. She offers good advice, addresses my concerns and helps me as I recover from my illness.
Deena offers insight that can only be acquired through years of honing their skills. They offer gentle reminders and feedback, while also understand that sometimes I need a stronger voice to bring my back from a spiral of self doubt. The video sessions I have with Deena are appropriate in quantity and quality of deep, heavy conversation and light heartedness to make me feel joyful at times.
