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.

She has went above and beyond to keep checking in on me and making sure I had all the resources I needed
She is a wonderful therapist who genuinely has my best interest in mind.
I’m two sessions in with inbetweens and I have been enjoying getting comfortable with with Mrs. Lawson. She is very respectful and her approach is very gentle.
Dr. Lawson is very patient and knowledgeable. She’s supports her patients and treats us like an extension of her family. I feel at ease talking to her about my concerns as if she’s a close friend. Also, I love that she doesn’t feel burdened if I reach out to her whenever I need help.
Ms Lawson has been very helpful.
Her first impression had me immediately sold. She gives off the most genuine sense of care for you while you’re confiding in her. She lets you know that with her you have a teammate that’s in your corner to assist you in your journey to a become a better version of yourself. Recommend her 100 percent.
