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.

From my experiences with Valerie, I noticed that she does everything she can to understand one’s point of view without placing her judgment/bias on a situation. She consistently shows genuine care, empathy, and compassion. She will ask questions to guide one on a path of discovering solutions to addressed problems. She is very encouraging and optimistic! I highly recommend her as a therapist.
