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.

I've worked with several different therapists over the years. I've never felt therapy was very helpful for me until working with Steve. He immediately identified my personality traits that made stressors in my life extra hard. I had felt the other therapist mislabeled me. Steve combines listening, asking reflective questions, and practicing techniques to help with my issues. He provides worksheet with additional and supportive information. He recognizes my own level of expertise and knowledge while providing me with new information and skills.

I've been working with Steve for almost a year now. He's helped me change my way of thinking into something more automatically positive rather than the negative thoughts I always jumped too. He coaches me along as much as anything else, and that's something I think men sometimes need more than anything else; someone to keep you honest and moving in the right direction.
