Karen Hardy displays high level of compassion and is genuine when I’m expressing how I feel in the present and in my past. She gives me a safe space to talk about what has happened to me and I am grateful I have such a wonderful therapist to talk to weekly. I’m only 2 sessions in and I already have many tips that I have adopted from her actionable advice which has helped me overcome stress in just 2 weeks. I 100% do not regret my decision to take a step in the right direction. God bless!

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.
