Great app!! and I highly recommend you get it if you are or a loved one who is struggling with mental illness. And The fact that it's very affordable definitely doesn't hurt either. So not only will your wallet thank you, but your brain and body will as well. [It got a bit corny at there, but Hopefully you will get the general gist of it lol.

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.
