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.

James Coley is wise, attentive, intelligent, and helpful. I would definitely recommend his services to anyone who needs some help.
James has been been a understanding and insightful person to work with. I started therapy while going through a breakup and he has helped me analyse patterns in my previous relationships. He is knowledgeable about different relations styles and nonmonogamy which is critical for understanding my life and giving advice to me.
After being with James for a year I would strongly recommend him. I have grown so much since starting therapy with James.
It feels like he knows where I’m coming from & what I’m going through. Very easy to talk to. Understanding yet still professional. Provides great guidance.
James is a great listener and provides good feedback
James is awesome. Always willing to explore the difficult things with me. A great listener who provides excellent feedback.
Such an understanding therapist with a calm and caring demeanor. James is such a patient and great therapist, his methods for working with OCD are very helpful. He is very understanding and kind which makes him easy to talk to especially if you’re first starting therapy. Highly recommended!
James has a wonderful way of asking thought provoking questions that lead to so much insight! I love his kind and gentle approach.
James is easy to talk to and asks good questions which helped me gain an objective perspective on a family situation.
It may be to early for me to say a lot about James Coley, but within the short time we have worked together he is the only therapist that I have had who really feels like he is trying to help.
