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.

Michelle has been great! Very supportive and easy to connect with! Highly recommend!
So far it’s been a pleasure to work with Michelle. She is kind and compassionate and reminds me to be kind to myself which is a reminder I always need. She focuses on strength based therapy which helps remind me when I feel defeated.
Good therapist
Love working with Michelle so far
Michelle was extremely helpful and took the time to listen and ask appropriate questions during a difficult time. Her expertise shines through.
Super Patient and Helpful. Listens to me and is extremely helpful
I knew I would appreciate the convenience and privacy of in-home therapy via video, but I was prepared to need several attempts until I met someone I was comfortable talking to. I am grateful that I found Michelle in the very first therapist I was matched with - she is insightful, friendly, and a wonderful listener. I'm amazed at how quickly I was able to gel with her, and feel great about the progress I have made with her help.
