I have only had a few sessions and limited communication with Michelle Gilio so far, but she seems genuinely focused on figuring out exactly what I want out of this experience - which entails helping me refine my own, frequently blurry, reasons. This is EXTREMELY helpful. I feel confident together we will make much faster, more effective progress untangling my thoughts and motivations than I could alone.

We have only had one session but she is the first of 4 therapist to take the time to actually introduce herself and explain a bit about her background. To me this was a huge relief because it's hard to express yourself to someone who never introduces themselves. She already gave me so much to think about in just one session, I'm excited to see where this journey goes.

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.
