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.

Penny has been enormously helpful. I appreciate her wealth of knowledge and expertise.
Penny has been incredible! Her compassionate and insightful approach has been immensely helpful. I feel heard, supported, and empowered after every session. Highly recommend!
Penny has been the most helpful therapist I have ever had. She listens without judgement. She asks for clarification if she needs to better understand what I’m trying to convey BEFORE she offers her advice/opinion. She has given me multiple tools to try out for managing my anxiety and regularly checks in on how those tools are working for me. I feel extremely comfortable with her and constantly talk about her/my sessions with my nearest and dearest. My family and friends have all seen massive improvements in me since I began therapy; providing these comments unprompted so I know they are legitimate and not just comments to seem supportive. I cannot recommend Penny enough! I honestly don’t think this review has done her justice frankly because I can’t quite articulate the growth I feel she has helped me achieve.
Amazing listener. Best decision I ever made. Penny is awesome!!!! She has helped me in so many ways and I will forever be grateful to her.
Penny is phenomenal. Her experience shines through in her wisdom and the support she offers her clients. She has a gentle touch with sensitive subjects. 10/10 recommend Penny
Penny has been a beacon of light in my journey towards better mental health. Her empathy, insight, and personalized care have truly made a difference. I highly recommend Penny to anyone looking for a therapist who genuinely cares and helps you navigate your path to healing.
Penny has helped me more than I can express. She is a great listener and has been a tremendous therapist. I would highly recommend.
Penny helped me through a difficult situation and gave me tools to get on a positive path forward. She is compassionate, caring, and realistic about the work that needs to be done. I would be in a very different situation without her help, I am so grateful.
Penny is a wonderful therapist. For someone who had never done any therapy before and was anxious to do it, she made those feeling ease quickly. She is helpful and also shoots straight. She doesn’t try to make you feel good, she tries to help you with your issue…and address them…and heal. She’s been. Dry helpful to me.
Penny helped me talk through things bothering me and understanding how I can help myself to help my family.
Penny has made me feel safe and comfortable from day one. She has gave me tools within the first two sessions and checks in with me regularly to see how they are working for me. She is direct when needed and warm always.
So helpful! Such a great person! The comfort and soothing ways on display in conversation with Penny is healthy and helpful by itself. Then, add in her expertise and its unequivocal my belief in her as a great therapist. 10/10
She has been fantastic for me. She listens and supports me and is honest with me about what I need to change.

Penny is thoughtful and compassionate. I appreciate her kind and honest approach
Very professional and uplifting. Penny is good about implementing strategies right away in order to help you reach your goals quickly and effectively.
I'm thankful that she listens to me and tries to understand what I'm going through. So far she seems to want to try to get me the root of the problem
Penny listens, considers and offers suggestions for improving the situation.
Penny is absolutely amazing! She always answers in a timely manner and offers different ways to help with any issues I am having!
