My Therapist, Karen, was insightful. She made me stop and think, not gloss over statements, and move on to the next subject. Setting goals is something I did mentally but not physically. Write it down she said, and check them off as I go. The homework she has provided so far, has helped me focus on the things I already knew but never put into practice. Thank you Karen!

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.
