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.

Andrea i've only had the pleasure of attending two session but in those two session i've been made to feel cared for, listened to and understood. I love that she lets me talk about whats happening in my life but the most important part of her sessions is the questions she asks me are what i would ask myself. She talks to me like i've known her for years. Thank you Andrea!
