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.

Amber is a great listener and very passionate and patient
Amber is a great active listener which makes her a better therapist as she's attempting to understand and asks qualifying questions to follow. She also does her best not to force her thoughts or opinions.
As a first time therapy user, Amber has made the process so comfortable and seamless. She is a great listener and has a lot of information to help me understand myself better. I look forward to speaking with her and appreciate her insights.
Amber Poma is a great therapist. She is very understanding and patient. She lets you talk your truth and listens. I feel she really cares.
Amber is fantastic and anyone who is lucky enough to have her as a therapist will heal and learn
Amber is really nice and such a great listener. Every time we have a session I feel like I’m in such a calm and patient environment, even if I’m doing it from my home. I highly recommend her. She is above and beyond with what she does. Thank you, Amber!
She’s very comfortable to talk to and she never makes me feel judged. I trust her advice and I can count on her to show up when I’m in distress. It’s a nice feeling that I can be honest with out fear or embarrassment. She holds me accountable without giving me a fear of disappointment and I really appreciate it.
Very friendly and helpful. It’s a slow process but she has been patient with me.
Amber is fantastic! She’s a great listener, even when I go on 10 minute tangents. She’s able to listen to my humble thoughts and give me specific insights into what I’m saying and possible reasons I’m feeling that way. 10/10
Amber is a great help to me in understanding myself. She lets me just talk which helps me. I highly recommend Amber
I have only been working with Amber for a short period of time but I look forward to our session. She actively listens and then asks question to help me process the why, how, who, and when to my thoughts and experiences. I really feel I’m going to make great progress with her
Amber made me instantly comfortable when starting my therapy journey.
have met with Amber via video call and so far after my 2nd visit it’s been great, she gives great advice, and has set tasks for me to do in order to step out of my comfort zone/better my flaws.
Miss Poma did not give up on me even though I wasn't able to video with her. Mentally I was only able to text. She just took where I was and how I could come to her and see reached out to me and it made a difference. It has helped.
She’s is such a great listener and definitely helping me with my issues
