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.

Reviewed September 2023

She is an amazing therapist. She was able to pinpoint early on exactly what I needed to work on and helped me work through it. She gave me the tools I need to keep pushing through. She is also very kind and always checked on my mental state throughout each video call as to not overwhelm me and walked me through breathing exercises and meditation. She is the best therapist I have found in a really long time because she genuinely wants to help.

Dawn has been a tremendous blessing. Having the reassurance that problems aren’t always in my head and they can be real no matter how small. And somehow I ended up matched with her when she has a knowledge on people impacted by cancer, brain cancer, and the ability to help me through the strain that causes in my life.
