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.

Carolyn is an empathetic and caring therapist who offers good advice and suggestions.
Carolyn had a supportive and calming presence, asking questions, sharing worksheets and suggesting tactics to give myself time to reflect and process some health changes.
Carolyn is excellent. Her approach guides me to consider, and thereby, discover various aspects of my life and needs. She guides me to greater sense of self-discovery, which allows me to function better in life. I greatly appreciate Carolyn and her approach to therapy.
I am very comfortable with Carolyn's approach to therapy. She is resourceful and competent.
I like Carolyn although We've only spoken twice.
Carolyn is understanding and caring. She pays attention to not just what you’re saying but how you say it. I've never been to therapy before, and Carolyn has created a safe and welcoming environment for me to share.
Carolyn has been a source of help and compassion. Going through some family issues and she has offered a kind and helpful sounding board. She has followed up with worksheets and other options for therapy. I like the ease she put me under. I feel supported and heard.
