Raquel does a great job of helping to save me from me (which is no easy feat). She listens and hears my issues for what they are and not necessarily what I may classify them as. Her ability to suggest bite size adjustments helps me to better take it in and apply it. She is easy to reach and reaches out when I Crawl into my hole and go M.I.A. She has definitely been who/what I needed in this season of life.

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.
