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.

I would highly recommend Dr. Kurth. He is very supportive and checks up on me regularly which I very much appreciate.
In just a few short sessions I was able to work through some very painful problems and truly receive some peace of mind and new perspectives. Dr Josh is the best and wish I found him sooner!
I just started working with Dr. Kurth and i'm already digging deeper into things compared to my last therapists. Dr. Kurth asks me questions and really makes me think about things opposed to just letting me talk the entire time. I'm excited and confident that we will be able to uncover the actual WHY behind what causes the issues i'm having. I also feel extremely comfortable being open with Dr. Kurth which is HUGE!
Dr. Kurth is very helpful and knows how to listen. He gives you insights and works with you to get you where you wanna be.
