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.

Dr. Allen has been just the God Send I have needed during a difficult/transitional time in my life. She truly listens to me and recommends strategies and practices that truly stick with and help me to grow. Her attention to truly getting to know me and willingness to help is awesome!
I enjoyed my first therapy session with Dr. Allen. She was knowledgeable, professional, and shared nuggets of wisdom for my issue. I appreciate the Christian therapy experience. I look forward to our next session.
Dr Allen has been helpful in dealing with my issues, she provides great suggestions and is a great listener.
Dr. Allen has been extremely helpful to me during my rather tough year. I lost a family home, THREE close family members, one of my dogs, and my writing job that I loved all in less than 8 months in 2023. I have been so grateful to her for all of her support during this season.
She truly seems to care and she listens
