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.

Immensely helpful to my growth and emotional recovery.
He's very knowledgeable, personable, and consistent. He takes good notes, to ensure he remembers things you wouldn't think he'd remember. I get the sense he's a genuinely good human who loves what he does for a living. I feel like this is his passion and it gives him great personal fulfillment to help other people grow. Whom who is seeking true growth, wouldn't want that in a therapist? I have a lot going on and he handles my many issues with ease, and most importantly to me, without judgement. He's really good! Totally recommend!!
Great therapist, always listen and offers very professional outlook and solutions.
Enjoyed my counseling with Michael and highly recommend him.
Michael has been a tremendous help at helping me set goals and expectations. He has helped me to more comfortably share my feelings with others, which is important to form stronger bonds. I am slowly allowing myself to show vulnerability and to ask for what I want. Michael has become an extremely important tool to my better health.
I value and honor the time I have with Michael and feel that he is helping me move to more clarity in my life.
I had never done therapy before and Michael was so helpful. He understood very clearly what I wanted from the start and helped me achieve what I needed. If for some reason I ever need this again I would like have him as the therapist again
He’s great, easy to talk to, helpful and really easy to get along with
He really is an understanding person and will adjust to the topics you want to talk about. Highly recommend! :)
After I first meeting I walk away feeling confident that he has the ability to deal with my current issues
Michael made the uncomfortable feel comfortable and easy and I genuinely look forward to speaking with him.
