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.

Sam has been wonderful! I appreciate his professionalism, kindness, and dedication. He is a wonderful tribute to the counseling profession. I can't recommend him enough.
Sam is an excellent therapist. His guidance and insights have been tremendously helpful in helping me restore balance and control over many aspects of life.
I am also an Asian living in the US, and he had the same background. He is able to relate to a lot of my problems and talked about it.
Sam is an excellent therapist, with a worldly life and business perspective. He has been invaluable as I navigate both personal and business issues.
I am so thankful for Mr. Lee. He is the impartial voice I needed. He doesn’t spare feelings and tells me the truth. He’s very knowledgable. But, don’t sign up to be with him if you aren’t willing to do homework and get to work!
Sam is incredibly perceptive and doesn’t hesitate to give direct guidance and assessment. That said, he is also incredibly kind and a joy to work with. He has aided my personal journey greatly, and I’d highly recommend him to others.
He has been outstanding.
Sam's expertise and approach to providing therapy is compassionate and insightful. Over the course of two months, Sam has enabled me to identify and improve upon areas that have benefited me personally and professionally. Sam has introduced me to tools and frameworks that, with practice, have helped me identify blind-spots in how and why I react in challenging situations. Moreover, with practice, these tools are empowering me to choose a better reaction and response in these situations. I am happy with my progress and look forward to continuing to work with Sam as my therapist.
