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.

Michelle is strongly considerate and listens to my thoughts and respects me
I gain insights and breakthroughs after my sessions with her. I see progress in myself.
I was a little apprehensive to start therapy at first but Michelle has really held a safe space for me to talk through my emotions in a healthy way and has really listened to me. I’ve found our first few sessions really helpful and Michelle has really helped me make sense of a lot of the emotions and difficulties I have been experiencing. Michelle listens intensively and asks the important questions which help me on my healing journey. I’ve really been encouraged throughout this experience so far. Thank you Michelle
