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.

Love Tonya! She is the best and so easy to talk to. It's like talking to a friend.
I found her very down to earth and relatable. Shes very calm and present while being relaxed and easygoing. Love it!
Tonya is so great. She sends me encouraging words everyday. Listens to what I have to say and doesn't cut me off or try to make me feel like I don't matter. Love her!!
I really like Tonya. Tonya is not afraid to probe. She asks good questions, is supportive of me, resourceful & communicates well. Although we have only have video communicated twice, she does respond to questions or thoughts I might have through email.
