Joanne has been great. She was very patient, calm, and insightful. She had some very useful tips and guidance for me and help me gain introspection into myself and those around me. She gave me helpful tools and options I had not considered when facing frustrations. She also helped me stay positive and to reflect on the good things and not focus on the ones that did not work out. She's a great listener and well informed. Highly recommend.

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.
