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.

I’ve really enjoyed working with Susan and our sessions. I like how she asked if I like feedback, because I do and her feedback has been helpful…not solely listening. She has a warmth about her that makes me feel safe and promotes healing. Grateful!

I connected with her immediately. She is super knowledgeable and definitely meets you right where you are at. I was scared to do therapy and she’s made it the best experience so far.
