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.

Amazing therapist! She helped me overcome some childhood trauma and gave me useful tools along the way.
Even though I only did a couple of sessions and it being my first touch on therapy, I really enjoyed Jimiko’s help. I can’t explain much because I haven’t had too much time but in the short bit it was really good for trying to get into therapy.
