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.

Joanne is a great listener and her insights and therapy style is a great help to me. I am very happy that she was paired with me.
Joanne is so empathic and understanding. She offers a safe space and learns to understand your experience. She is great and highly recommend
Joanne is an amazing therapist! I can not put into words how grateful I am for this experience with her. I had therapy in person before and I can say it can not compare with the way I feel after each session with Joanne. She listens to me, validates my thoughts and doesn't allow me to think that there is something wrong with me. She is involved in our sessions and very friendly. She gives me peace, confidence, hope.
I've had two sessions with Joanne so far and have noticed she listens well and reflects information back, correctly. This makes me feel valued and like I'm getting somewhere. I also appreciate Jo's direct yet careful approach and how she reads the 'situation'. For example, Joanne asked if I was interested in homework. I said yes. Looked at the homework, thought it was silly stuff, yet completed it anyway. It opened my eyes and is helping me to feel better already. Now I see why Joanne assigned me that particular 'silly' homework after all.
Joanne was considerate, empathetic and professional, she is a great and personable therapist. Highly recommended!
Talking about past traumas has always been difficult for me but speaking to Jo has been helpful in my path to healing. She would never push me into discussing the hard things but when I was ready, she was there to listen without judgement. I was able to speak about difficult topics in a safe environment and she was able to help me understand and see things from a different perceptive. She is also very professional and a great listener.
This is my first time in therapy and Joanne has helped me tremendously and given me tools and techniques that I can use to help myself going forward. Joanne has really been great. Every week I have looked forward to my sessions with her.
Jo has been a great listener & has always made me comfortable despite uncomfortable conversations. I've only started therapy recently but it has been a positive experience so far.
I am very pleased that I have been matched with Joanne, as I find that she identifies very well with where I am coming from and I feel very comfortable talking to her and listening to her advice.
