Robert gives me a solid frame that I cam build onto on my own terms. I get the opportunity to step into the role of making my own progress without the fear of failing because he is so supportive. When I have questions, he is able to answer them in a way I can understand. If I need explanations about anything, he can expand on the topic and walk me through it until I understand.

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.
