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.

Kelsie is kind, patient, knowledgeable and very down to earth. I appreciate and am thankful for all she does— and grateful to have found her!
Kelsie is personable, a good listener, and finds the heart of the issue. I’m so grateful for the time we spend talking and for her guidance to meet the goals we’ve discussed.
I just started seeking some help, however so far, I am quite impressed on her openness to be accommodating as she seeks any needs I may have. I feel she is quite caring in nature, so I am so far satisfied with my decision.
Easy to talk to, listens and offers a path forward to work through issues.
Kelsie has been awesome!
