Recent reviews
Dr. Flitton is a gifted, wise, and experienced therapist. She is professional and creates an environment where I feel safe sharing and where I feel heard and supported, and the materials she has shared with me have been spot-on and enormously helpful in my journey. Her knack for distilling what I've expressed into real, understandable reflections that help me to understand my thoughts and their origins is precious and unique, and something I've not experienced in therapy until sessions with Dr. Flitton.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
