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.

Since starting my sessions with Debbie I've noticed a change in me.. for the better.. even just as a person to chat to she is a lovely person.. and her insights and that are very helpful.. I gave a ways to go in therapy I think but I definitely feel it's heading in the right direction and my therapist has a lot to do with that. With Debbie I feel comfortable more than engine else I've tried therapy with and I'm going with the flow
