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.

Laura has been wonderful. She understands my issues and she’s a great listener which I really appreciate. She gives me a lot of encouragement and gives me new ways to think about my issues. She’s extremely personable.
Connected immediately with my therapist the questions asked to pair you with the right person was dead on. Only my second session and I feel better than therapy I have had for years
Awesome, insightful, and helpful! More importantly the tools she gives me are effective! 10/10 would recommend, she’s very honest and is fantastic about tailoring different methods to fit what works for you!
Great therapist and really help me see things when I couldn't. Thank you
