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.

Dawoon (Daisy) is very understanding and she actually listens to what you are saying and works off that. She knows ways to help with your situation which is good!
Dawoon Ko is a very patient listener! I am very detailed & metaphoric with my words and she understood thoroughly right off the bat. Informative & and Kind, my first session she allowed me to let the tears roll in peace as it helped relieve me for the concert I attended later on that day. I highly recommend!
