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.

Ann listens with so much intent. Sometimes that’s all you really need, a person who actually listens and understands where you are coming from. I appreciate her very much and am thankful I found her.

Ann is amazing! 10/10 would recommend. She is highly intuitive, kind, caring, asks all the right questions and just overall is an excellent therapist. I have had quite a few therapists and after meeting her one time virtually I could feel the connection and everything falling into place. Massively thankful to have found such a wise woman to connect with.

Ann is a wonderful therapist. This was my first venture with therapy and I was very nervous but Ann made me feel so comfortable and at ease. I was able to speak with her openly and we were able to discuss deep matters that opened the doors to things I had never connected before. She has made me feel seen and empowered. I so appreciate how she validated my feelings. It meant everything to me and lifted a huge weight off my chest. I highly recommend her. She has helped me in more ways than I could have imagined. ❤️

Ann has been such a blessing in the time I needed her most. She has walked with me through a difficult time and offered a Biblical view that I needed. Since starting with Ann, my mental health has drastically changed for the better. I am so appreciative of her wisdom!

May 2023

Ann Laing has been an absolute angel in my life. I came to her confused on how to get out of unhealthy situations in my life, and now after 4 months of weekly sessions I’m ready to end my therapy journey for now. She was the catalyst I needed to get my life to a place where I’m in control and loving life. Im stronger than ever, more confident in who I am than ever. She is so kind and insightful. She recommended reading material and taught me how to deal with certain situations. I’m so grateful for the time we spent together and the knowledge I now have to move forward and thrive. The support she offered me was exactly what I needed, she’s a wonderful woman and teacher.
