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.

Feb 2024

I love her!! She's helped me with my anxiety, occasional depression or difficulty with motivation, family relationships, improving my communication skills, self discovery, etc, a lot these past few months! She's patient, easy going, understanding, asks good questions, pays attention and recalls past conversations, follows up with me if I miss a week or need extra support. She's younger than me, probably by about 20 years or less and isn't married and doesn't have kids yet, but she has a good understanding of relationships and as a therapist, helps support therapy and counseling in a constructive and non threatening way. Thank you, Kayla!!

Jul 2023

I have been working with Ms. Sims for the past few months due to increasing stress from graduate school. She is someone who listens, supports, and challenges my thoughts in a constructive way. I would 100% recommend her to friends and family.

Jun 2023

I have tried many therapist throughout the years, and Kayla is by far the most experienced, and in tune with what’s going on in my life. She is very prompt with replying to question the messages, and the therapy sessions are very helpful as she is very prepared to talk about the week and how to handle things.
