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.

She goes above and beyond! She's done research outside of our talks for my benefit and she's just amazing!
She truly listens to me and is 100% straight forward with her response while still being delicate. I feel like I can tell her everything and not hold back and still be confident in her response.
Shannon is the best! She truly understands me and is really helping me change things in my life.
Shannon is a very easy person to talk to and confide in. She has been most helpful in helping me to cope with and understand some of my issues I'm having. I would highly recommend her to anyone.
Excellent therapist but just don’t take my word for it. Definitely worth the experience …
Shannon is really amazing. It literally feels like you’re talking to a friend. She’s so good at getting to the root of an issue and challenging you to think critically and come to your own realizations. I’ve learned so much about how I operate and how to operate in the world with less anxiety. She’s amazing!
