I've been working with Joel for a few weeks now and he's made it super comfortable. I feel like I'm rambling about stuff that makes no sense, but he assures me it's not "random stuff" and asks helpful, guiding questions. I don't know why I didn't start therapy sooner!

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.

Joel has been extremely helpful for me dealing with many of my personal issues and extramarital affairs. Appreciate your help, but I felt that it's time I move onto a specialized marriage counselor
