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.

Danica has been such an incredible resource in my life. She helped me navigate a challenging time in my marriage and a transition in my career. I’d feel like I was rambling, and she’d play back something so thoughtful and make me feel understood - and then offer perspective that made me feel like I had a handle on a situation. Plus she’s just fun to talk to, which makes it much easier to open up.
Timely responses and inciteful, unbiased observations that have been very helpful.
Danica, in a very short amount of time has taken an interest in what's going on with me and seems to understand what I need and who I am as a person. She has been very supportive of the things going on in my life and is offering me insight and perspective to help me get through my issues. I strongly recommend talking to her.
Danica is amazing. I was in a terrible place when I first started working with her but now, feel so much better. She’s easy to talk to, provides great suggestions and insight, and made therapy a positive experience. Thank you Danica!
Danica listens and responds in a wholesome, complete way.
I've only been working with Danica for a very short time and already feel like I've made a great deal of progress. She has so much insight and experience and is able to get to the heart of things quickly. I appreciate her candor as well as her gentleness and her willingness to take extra time to try to read and respond to journal entries I've shared, etc. Definitely recommend!
She has been very easy to work with and talk to
It was like we were meant to meet one another. She specializes in the same issues that I am experiencing and is very up-to-date with her information. I would definitely recommend her to anyone I know.
