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.

I am so grateful for the support and guidance I received from Patti. Prior to our sessions, I was experiencing PTSD symptoms and constant worry that impacted my daily life. Patti provided a safe environment that made it possible for me to confront and process my past. Patti’s intelligence and expertise were evident from the start. She was able to break down why my body was reacting the way it did to certain triggers, which helped me to better understand my brain and emotions. This deeper understanding was crucial in my journey and allowed me to work towards effective solutions. Since meeting with Patti, I have made incredible strides in my mental health journey. My PTSD symptoms are virtually gone and I have felt more peace in my life than ever. Her patience, dedication, and genuine care have been instrumental in my improvement. I cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and empathetic therapist to help navigate PTSD, anxiety, and worry, as well as plenty of other issues. She’s made a huge and lasting difference in my life.
