Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Calming to speak with, actively listens but engages at the appropriate time to guide sessions. Great attitude and so kind.
Larissa has my total respect as a therapist. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker I know a good therapist when I hear one. She is a wonderful listener and provides appropriate responses to difficult situations that requires therapeutic intervention.
