I had to take a break from therapy and I am so glad to be back, meeting with Lorraine Poole. We just met for the first time in months, and it was so incredibly helpful. Things that have been bothering me for weeks are now much more manageable and less stressful because of our discussion and her counseling.

Reviewed November 2024

Lorraine has been amazing. I love how she starts off the same way every time, getting a sense for where I am before diving into the talk. I really appreciated that she started off the conversation when we first met and made me feel comfortable with her. She has been so supportive and encouraging of me going through good times and hard times. I’m really glad I found someone who understands and is on my side.

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.

Lorraine is a great listener and her follow up questions really help me dig deeper into my issues

Reviewed June 2024

Lorraine Poole is amazing. She makes you feel so comfortable right off the bat. She listens, and understands and relates to you which I feel like a lot of therapist can listen and understand but do not try and relate to issues. She’s very welcoming and recognizes progress and achievements and lets you know she is proud of you. Truly made me cry the first time she told me she was proud of me. It was a big accomplishment for me, for someone to finally say they were proud of me. She lets me go at my own pace, and handles my bouncing back and forth of a mind. Truly happy I was paired with her!

Reviewed April 2024

Lorraine is an amazing therapist. I went through a few different people before finding my match with her. I love her energy and what she brings to each meeting. Our video calls start with a rating to see how I’m doing. The first call had structure. I feel so supported in my calls with Lorraine and leave each one feeling so happy and more confident in what I’m doing. I’m very grateful for all her help! Thank you, Lorraine!
