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.

She has been very helpful and very grateful for her.
Kristina is a wonderful therapist. I always feel heard, respected, and never judged. She’s always on time to appointments, she always reminds me to reach out any-time before we end a session, and she always makes sure her availability works for me. I feel Kristina has been a very valuable resource to my week. I already see positive change and it has only been a few weeks. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for therapy.
Kristina is very helpful and gives me tools to manage my stress. She helps me think of different scenarios and think of ways how to react to those scenarios. Very helpful and I’m grateful to have Kristina as my therapist.
I loved working with Kristina, she was thoughtful, great listener, and in the short time I worked with her had a positive impact in my life.
