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.

Ann is exactly the therapist I need.
It’s still early in working with Ann but so far, she’s exactly what I need. I’m sure she adapts her techniques and style to the person she is speaking to but I need someone to hold the mirror and level with me and she is able to do that. She also shares a similar background that really resonates with my story so I know that there is that life experience backing the therapeutic technique and I feel that I can really trust her insight and suggestions.
Ann takes the time to understand who I am and my concerns. She also makes me feel supported on my mental wellness journey.
Ann Woodford challenges me to think about thinks I wouldn't have on my own. My experience thus far is really easy and comfortable. I feel understood and heard. I like that my Ann has great listening skills and I always feel comfortable confiding in her.
