Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Overall rating:
Shannon has been so helpful in an extremely difficult time in my life. I am so grateful to have her as a resource. I can't recommend her enough
It’s helped me a lot.
She knows how to listen and validate my feelings! A quality i have a hard time finding in therapists as a queer trans woman
Shannon has lended her ear and mind on the things I need to improve on and I'm very thankful for that
Wonderful person, very professional, great listener, and gave me awesome insight on the situations I am dealing with! Highly recommend her!
I very much like talking with her. She listens really well and she gives me feedback that I can really understand. She is really nice and doesn’t mind my occasional swearing. I also feel comfortable with her and she makes me feel like I can tell her anything.
Shannon has been really great to talk to as I have been going through the loss of a loved one and the end of a relationship. I’ve found her to be a very good listener and that she has been able to offer me great feedback. I feel like Shannon cares about helping me find healthy solutions and is really great at making me feel supported. I have felt lost quite a few times in the past year and she has been able to work through my feelings and thoughts and I have felt heard and understood. She shares valuable insights that resonate and is so knowledgeable. She is responsive and kind to me. Very professional . I feel fortunate being connected to her.
Excellent therapist!
Shannon is someone who is patient. She has allowed me to make the first steps so that I don’t feel rushed or forced or get spooked by the experience. But she is funny and encouraging to remind me how good it is when I do take those steps
I love Shannon's transparency and she really listens
Shannon has a lot of life experience and is a great communicator. She makes me feel supported, validated, and a little less crazy. She and I have a lot in common and I am so grateful I was paired with her.
We’ve only had one session together so far and we vibed instantly. She has made me feel so seen and validated and has not come off judgmental or preachy or close minded. She’s so unapologetic and down to earth and that’s the kind of energy I want in my life. I guess it really is third times the charm because I had two therapists before this and I always just felt disconnected. She doesn’t make me feel that way and that’s a huge win for me.
I've only had one real session but small conversations here and there and it's helped just KNOWING i have her there to help with my anxiety ridden thoughts and problems when I need an ear to listen to me
Shannon makes it feel like I'm talking to a friend about my problems, while also reminding me of the things I need to work on. She offers a safe space for me to vent and cry without judgment, and even helps put things into perspective.
Very good listener and provides excellent feedback.
Shannon is very sweet and dedicated to her patients. Her empathy has helped a lot, as well as her not being afraid to tell you her honest opinion. She has a very good balance of not sugar-coating it, but not downplaying it either.
I've had one session with Shannon so far. It went really well. She is very supportive. And she has sent worksheets to help with my concerns about setting future goals for my life. I am happy that I am matched with Shannon.
Love her. She has help me alot
Amazing
Shannon Hautala is very easy to talk to and relatable. She is extremely knowledgeable and has given me a lot of resources in the areas where I'm struggling. I feel better than I have in a long time, and I'm very grateful.
I’ve only met with Shannon twice now for a session, and both have been really great! I feel like I’m talking to an actual human, who cares about my problems. She always responds to my messages and journals in a timely manner, and gives me helpful videos to watch in my free time. Highly recommend!
Shannon is a really good listener and is able to help me see what I need to do to improve my circumstances. She has helped me through a difficult time and helped me find the tools and the momentum to figure out my next steps.
Shannon is incredible. I felt emotionally stuck and depressed when I came to her. After talking and encouraging words, incredible insight and a direction to move forward to I feel proud how feel and what I found out about myself.
Shannon has been great with me. She's a great listener and very respectful. She has not judged me and has given me tools to help with what I'm dealing with
Shannon is very personable and knowledgeable. She sends me videos, articles and other resources and makes herself available by messaging between appointments
Shannon has been incredibly accepting and constructive. I take something new away after every session, I am thankful she is the therapist I was paired with.
As a newbie to therapy and the wounds of my inner child and what it looks like to heal those parts of myself, it was a relief to meet Shannon. Getting your shit together feels so intimidating, but she’s incredibly friendly and resourceful! I feel comfortable with her and that’s so important when needing to explore yourself. Highly recommend!
