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.

Kate is super sweet and understanding, the session I’ve had so far immediately felt like a weight off of my shoulders. Definitely recommend her!!
Only a few weeks of working with Kate, and I already have a decrease in panic attacks. She is positive that I will be the person I want to be, which makes me have faith.
I have been through many therapists in the past, and Ekaette is the one for me. It finally happened and breathing is easier now. I am so thankful for her. If you stumble upon her profile, don’t hesitate, she will make a concrete box feel like home.
Kate is awesome. She makes you feel safe and welcomes/gives space for your thoughts and gives you insightful things to reflect on. Thank you so much!
Very concerned about my health Helped me with my concerns
It’s been hard getting to therapy. I’ve always felt like I can’t be the one who needs it because everyone else needs me! Kate is the first therapist to treat me like a human, listen to what I have to say and respond when she knows I need it. We have only had one session so far but she makes me excited to go back and so very hopeful, which surprises the heck out of me! Kate is someone who will help and listen with all she has instead of acting like you are someone to check off the list.
Kate is the BEST!!
Kate is extremely empathetic and also has such a bright energy to be around, which I think is especially helpful for people with anxiety like myself. Every time I finish a session with Kate, my loved ones notice that my mood changes. If you are ready for change, Kate will be by your side to take big steps or baby steps to get to your goal; she will also support you if you take one step forward and two steps back. Kate is also wonderful at checking in with how you are feeling and if certain techniques/strategies are working for you. My favorite thing about Kate is she is honest and real about her human-ness and how her background has shaped her, and she uses this realness to genuinely connect with her clients.
