This is my first time doing therapy. I was matched with someone else and we mutually parted ways. Then I was matched with Ellen. Ellen gets me, I feel very comfortable sharing with her. She has good advice and I feel the need to open up and share with her. I look forward to the sessions, even though they are not easy. Grateful to have found her.

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.
