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.

Extremely helpful and patient
I have loved my therapist. I came to her during a very hard time in my life and she has been nothing but graceful and supportive.
Great demeanor and in-depth awareness of issues discussed, related issues, treatments, and methods to improve communication. Very professional and calming presence.
I've only had a handful of sessions with Michelle, but I feel like I've known her forever. She is everything I was looking for in a therapist - knowledgeable, open, intuitive and gives great feedback. I finally feel like I'm on a clear path in my healing journey, with her help and guidance I'm headed in the right direction!
