Ellissa has been absolutely amazing. She is a great listener, but is also willing to provide professional guidance and examples of what I am going through and how I am feeling. She was so quick to learn my situation and what I wanted to get out of therapy. And she is incredibly flexible!! Life has been crazy lately and I live that we are able to reschedule appointments when things come up.

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.
