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.

she is extremely nice and kind. She is a good listener. She also find other ways to see if she can understand what you’re going through and try to find ways to help you that other people I have met have not done.
Jennifer makes me feel understood and listened to. A feeling I haven’t had in a long time. She’s knowledgeable and has very quickly calmed my nerves and helped me to better understand myself and why I’m feeling certain ways.
Been working with Jennifer for only a short time, but her insights are already helping me see and understand better, and I'm confident her help will put me in a mint better place.
Jennifer is very approachable and eay to confide in. She is professional and offers insight to my cognitive issues.
