I really appreciate her as a therapist; she seems to know a lot about grief and trauma and gave me a lot to think about from our sessions. She was also extremely generous when it came to scheduling sessions since my own schedule is tricky. Out of the therapists I've talked to on here, she has been my favorite and I would highly recommend her for anyone.

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.
