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's a great therapist. This was my first experience talking to a therapist and she made me feel comfortable talking about my problems. I would definitely recommend her.
I came to Paula during a very dark and difficult time in my life. I had never before participated in therapy so I was a little hesitant but Paula changed my mind and is so encouraging, positive, helpful, and makes you feel like you’re not alone! She is amazing and makes you feel amazing as well! HIGHLY recommend her as your therapist!
