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.

John is a great therapist and is very encouraging.
He's a great provider! Always punctual, attentive, and offers great resources in my experience that help me understand and grow. He's gentle with how he approaches your struggles, and if you're military, he even has experience working with us.
He allows a safe space to form where he can give genuine feed back and allow you to be you comfortably and make you realize where you need to grow
John has been a breath of fresh air! He picked up on so many little intricacies about me just from our first 45 minute session and that meant a lot to me. I feel so comfortable talking to him about my life and the problems I’m having. He actively listens to my concerns and I never feel like I’m a bother to him. The videos and reading he’s recommended have been incredibly helpful.
John has been a great help in helping me identify my anxiety and given me healthy ways of coping. He has been so kind and listens very well to my issues and challenges some of my doubtful thinking. He has made my quality of life improve a lot and the intensity of my anxiety has lessend to the point that i can breathe and think clearly. Im excited to keep working with him to heal and grow.
John is so easy going and comfortable to talk with. He understands me and he helps me get through my anxiety. He gives me things to read that help me better understand myself. It’s like a light that has finally been turned on. I always felt I never really knew who I was and now I am starting to find myself. He has been so helpful and I am forever grateful.
