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.

Sara has been very helpful as I am addressing some very powerful life concerns and events. She is willing to explore options as we discuss critical issues in my life. I highly recommend her as a therapist.
Sara listens carefully to the issues I bring up and helps me reframe my thoughts in a way that allows me to move past painful emotions and memories. She is great at building rapport which helps us quickly dive into the issues with limited time
I don’t know where I’d be without Sara, but I do know it wouldn’t be anywhere good. She makes it a point to really listen and then help me process and react to my issues in the best way possible. This has helped me remove chaos in situations when before I use to react and add to it. To me you know when therapy is working when you don’t have to wait to speak with your therapist to figure out how to react. 10/10
Sara is amazing. Super sweet. She listens and she understands. Best therapist I’ve had.
Sara is an excellent listener and her advice always gives me a fresh perspective often it’s information that I know because I’m a therapist but hearing it and hearing it come from somebody else it’s like I’m hearing it for the first time. I really do appreciate her and I’m not usually a fan of Therapy that is not in person but this is working out just fine
Sara is a wonderful therapist. She is patient, attentive, empathetic, and intelligent. Sara provides a safe space for me to be vulnerable and she appropriately challenges my thinking when needed. I am grateful for the education and support Sara offers. I truly feel and can reflect on the progress I have been making in my personal life since working with Sara. Any client of Sara's is lucky to have her!
Sara is an excellent therapist who exemplifies the utmost professionalism, compassion, and understanding. She is always there for me to help me work through whatever may be going on in my life. I’m grateful to have found someone who gets me and helps me build my skills to overcome whatever obstacles I may be facing. She has helped me through the most difficult time of my life. I feel like a new person in the best way after working with Sara for some time now.
Sara has been great!! I will be using her again!
Like many of us on here, I never thought I’d be here. Sara gave me the tools I needed to help bring my confidence and well-being back. I’m still a little surprised how good I’m feeling and can’t believe how easy she made it. She was more like a friend and a therapist. I would recommend her to anyone.
I’ve only been matched with Sara for a short period but in this time she has been amazing. I beat myself down and she does so well at lifting me up; which I really need in this journey. I can’t find the words to describe just how much I’ve appreciated her so far. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is considering her as a therapist.
I have tried a number of therapist and none have felt like the right fit until I met Sara, I genuinely look forward to our sessions as a highlight of my week.
Sara is amazing I look forward to our meetings and feel heard! She keeps it real with me and facilitates a judgement free environment for me to express myself freely!
Sara is able to reframe and reflect my thoughts and words back to me in a way that challenges me to see it from a different perspective. she is validating while also challenging me to work toward growth.
I actually worked with Sara on a different platform and in that time I was as close to my best self as I could be, so when she left that platform a went through a series of therapists that I didn't have that same connection and vibe with. I think she's good at being a sounded board but a non biased one who is very intelligent and who listens and ask question to clarify and help you both find solutions. It's a lucky things when people find their calling, Sara definitely has.
She is truly wonderful! 10/10 recommend!
Sara is amazing. She listen and give great input on my circumstance. Highly recommend
Sara is one of the few people I have talked with that actually sounds like she cares. She’s not about scheduling the next meeting. She makes you feel comfortable and all the while moving forward providing advice and tools for a better future. Not only this site but this world needs more people like her!
She has been very patient and attentive and I could not be happier with my service. I would highly recommend her to anyone! 100 /10 !
Sara is such a kind, insightful, and intelligent Therapist. She takes everything I say seriously and validates how I feel, and I really feel like she truly cares. I am so greatly thankful for her help.

I’ve really enjoyed speaking with Sara. She has definitely helped me with what I am looking for in this!
Sara has been great since day 1. She is a great listener and understand exactly what I am going through and helps me to make sense of it, puts it into perspective. I am grateful so far even though it’s just the beginning. She has helped me transition from a closing chapter to the new chapter in my life. Highly recommend!
