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.

I think that Yana is an excellent listener and has helped me better understand the problem I am facing in my life.

Reviewed February 2024

Yana and I have met for 2 sessions so far. I changed a few therapists in multiple states to finally match with Yana. My issues were insidious at this point and I had baggage from more than a decade ago. Yana effectively addressed my shame, trauma, PTSD from the first session itself. Now instead of feeling triggered and distracted by my former triggers, I feel good about myself and the critical lessons I learned from the situation and Yana’s perspective.

I’ve only been working with Yana a couple months now, but she has helped me more than any other therapist I’ve had on better help. She has opened my eyes in a way I didn’t think possible and I look forward to our sessions each week!

Reviewed January 2024

Yana is a great listener and remembers details about my family. She also holds the right balance of listening and offering advice. She’s absolutely wonderful
