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.

Overall rating:
Excellent and experienced therapist. I’ve been working with her for the last several months, and it has positively impacted my life.
Calm voice. Good demeanor. Good sounding board
Very empathetic & compassionate
From our first conversation, and that’s how I think of my sessions with Donna - as conversations rather than therapy, she has helped me develop insight into the challenges in my marriage. Donna asks challenging questions that make me think without ever feeling defensive or criticized. She is a skilled clinician and I am grateful to have this opportunity to work with her.
Wonderful experience. Donna spent a handful of sessions with me, helping me unpack a difficult emotional situation (relationship related). I recommend her.
Wonderful! Listens to me and gives good feedback :)
A very good person to talk to. Someone who truly listens and cares.
Donna very understanding and comforting. And fast responding when I need it . Giving great advice when I have difficulty . I only had 3 sessions with her but I feel comfortable with her to talk about anything, Highly recommended her. Thank you Donna
Donna is extremely professional and I enjoy speaking with her!
You are very patient
She's amazing
Lovely lady! Made me feel very comfortable at our first meeting.
She is great!!! Listens and understands!
This is my first time being in a therapy and I am so glad to meet Donna! She listens to me without any judgement so I don’t need to get nervous or fake myself, and I am very comfortable to open myself with her. She always has my back and support me, so I can feel stronger. She also gives me a different perspective and I already have a lot of learnings and awareness. I am so excited to my journey with Donna!
Donna is wonderful!! Highly recommend!!
