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.

Melissa is attentive, compassionate and respectful.
super wonderful, I appreciate her always listening whatever random thing I have to talk about :)
Brilliant therapist!
I've only had a couple sessions but Melissa does a great job getting to the point, hearing me out, helping me think a little deeper. I appreciate the homework, it makes me feel like I'm really putting in the work to become a better person.
I have been working with Melissa for almost five months now. She has been GREAT!!! Last summer I was struggling with the loss of my mother, but after working with Melissa for a few months, I have felt so much better. I credit Melissa's expertise with helping me resolve this grief.
She is a very good listener and gives great feedback. I actually look forward to our sessions every week!
Melissa Register is an excellent therapist.
I couldn’t have found a better therapist than Melissa
Melissa has been greatly appreciated and amazing the whole time!
Thankful for her presence. She is kind and a good listener and offers solid advice.
Coming from a mental healthy background myself, I was initially hesitant to reach out to another therapist for support to help me deal with stress, anxiety, and the loss of a loved one; but Melissa has been extremely supportive, helpful and has assisted me in working through many of the issues that I've been struggling with. I highly recommend Melissa as a therapist.
Melissa is a great listener with great insights into learning about one's self. I highly recommend Melissa.
Intelligent and down to earth. She did a great job of reflecting what I told her. Which is impressive, because I talk a lot.
Melissa has offered advanced level support. I value the expertise, kindness, respect and understanding she offers in our sessions. She really goes the extra mile to offer the best therapy possible.
Amazing!
