About online counseling

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.

I have had many therapists but Lila is the only one that elicits my raw feelings. She offers a great blend of weed whacking, in one moment I am spilling my guts and the next we are joking and jovial, putting me at ease. She has taught me it’s OK to be sad and the maneuvers to deal with it. She has also been the first and only person to help me deal with my crippling anxiety. 10/10 Lila is a true hero!

Lila is very empathetic and truly listens to me. I believe that she genuinely cares about me and my well-being and wants me to get better.

We’re still getting to know one another. This is more on me than her, Lila responds so quickly and professionally. She also gives responses that dig deeper into your original post. I’m terrible at putting thoughts together sometimes so I love being able to share my journal entries. I also love there’s an option to send something urgently.
