A fantastic character, with a great sense of humor. Understanding during these budgeting times. Will do the research and already carries a good understanding of psychology and empathy. -Me, as a male of a certain age, I've always shrugged off the idea of therapy. However Russell has shown me it can be quite helpful. -Made me a bit more self aware of my words and actions. Overall in a better place mentally than I was several months ago.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
