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.

Overall rating:
She was so kind and knowledgeable -- really learned a lot from her and about myself during my sessions! Would 100% recommend to others.
Michele is knowledgeable and respectful. She listens to what I say and offers valuable insight. She lets me know when I’m making good progress and encourages me to continue to grow and keep moving forward.
Michele is a great listener and I feel she offers rationale for her thoughts, but never directs you to a decision. Rather she gives you things to think about that helps you through the decision process itself. Thank you Michele!
I’m very thankful I was paired with Michele as I feel she understands and truly listens to what I say. She has given me different resources to help and I feel as though our sessions have given me direction.
Michele is very kind and knowledgeable. She listens and most importantly understand the areas that you want to focus on and adds guidance and amazing insight. She has been such a wonderful counselor who makes time to send messages of encouragement and worksheets that relate. Highly recommend!
She is an amazing listener, with advice that hits you at a different angle…
