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.

It's just an overall good match. He reaches out to me with resources that I ask for help on and sometimes even with things that I didn't know I needed. He helps me stay on track during our sessions and to not fall down the empirical rabbit hole I normally go down when I talk about my problems and feelings.

Richard provides great resources and offers good advice. He is very patient and a good listener. You get out of things what you put into them, so if you make a real effort to listen to him and work through the suggestions/goals, you will find new perspectives.
