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.

Karen is amazing at understanding and getting me to open up deeper about the circumstances I am facing. She helped me in understanding my actions, the good and bad effects they were having on me. The compassion she showed to me helped me realize I could have that same for myself. Great to talk to and get a useful strategy for different situations in life. Would definitely recommend her!

Ms. Karen has offered me a total reevaluation on my perspective of things and was able to help me in many ways. Apart from helping me heal things that have effected me deeply, she has also made me self-aware in my real life choices about how much change I can make on my own, with her guidance and direction. Knowledgeable, kind, and respectful of the many subjects we discussed. So thankful for her services!
