He had been an amazing therapist. He listens to me and my rambles and always makes sure we have a goal and are making progress, but is understanding when it takes longer to meet that goal.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Colorado with 4 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with depression, stress and anxiety, lgbt-related issues, family conflicts, & trauma and abuse. I believe individuals know their story best and it is the privilege of therapists to hear that story. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am honored to be a therapist who gets to help others through their struggles.

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.
