About online counseling

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.

Confident and not overbearing, very flexible in her methods & solutions to a wide variety of issues.

Reviewed June 2023

Kristyl is very genuine and kind. Her approach feels very holistic, she listens to different tangents and helps me see the connection. She doesn't define a lot, which I find helpful. She listens, and asks questions, and she does offer advice that feels timely and simple and more like "root cause" wisdom. I have appreciated how her perspective has helped me to help myself.

Reviewed June 2023

Kristl is so personable and real and I felt comfortable with her from our very first interaction. She is very smart and helps me realize things for myself, which (to me) is more helpful than just telling me what’s going on. She is funny and positive and I ALWAYS feel much better after our sessions! I tend to be very hard on myself, and she is compassionate, understanding and most of all, HELPFUL!! She is wonderful!
