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.

You are friendly and funny, apart from your expertise. That adds value that a lot of other therapists don't. So wanted to point that out.

Jocelyn is smart kind caring and compassionate. She directs me and is genuinely concerned for my safety and mental wellbeing. A blessing!

Reviewed May 2024

She is a breath of fresh air to me, as I am someone who has not had the best luck with therapists. Jocelyn is extraordinarily attentive to the concerns facing you. She is a genuinely kind and thoughtful person. Even when she let me know she’d have to attend her next meeting soon, she still makes sure that you and her finish the train of thought you’re currently on. There is nothing more comforting than having a therapist who you can tell enjoys her profession. A therapist should be more than someone to talk to. More importantly, a person who is able to understand you and guide you towards the right direction of self-betterment. This can be found in Jocelyn’s caring approach. Moving forward with my future sessions, I feel very confident in Jocelyn’s continued support when it comes to dealing with what life tends to throw my way.
