I have met with Melanie twice so far, and she has efficiently and kindly centered in on my key points, and has responded with practical and helpful answers. I have worked with therapists in the past who focus heavily on the issue but don’t provide a way through it, but Melanie does a great job of empowering me to make the changes I need in my thinking, actions, etc. I feel comfortable with her and confident that I can share my thoughts and feelings and receive empathy and respect. I have already started to apply what she has shared and it has been helping me feel better even on my rough days. I appreciate being able to reach out to her whenever I need it; it’s reassuring to know someone is there who isn’t personally affected by my struggles. Melanie makes me feel heard and understood, and I would highly recommend her to others.

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.
