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.

Very happy with our conversations. Find them therapeutic.
Krista has been a perfect fit for me. She has really helped me improve so much and she checks in with me when she knows I'm going to be experiencing stressors.
Krista tremendously helped me through a very challenging period in my life. She helped me to regain confidence, sort through trauma and redevelop relationships with loved ones. She truly helps me dig deep to think on my own and I highly recommend her!
Krista has been a blessing. In a short time, talking to her became as comfortable as talking to an old, trusted friend. Krista is great at putting her thoughts into contexts that I can understand and/or relate to. Therapy with Krista does not feel like a "cookie cutter" session. It feels very personal.
Krista is a great person to have as a therapist. She's not only a good listener and empathizes well, but really looks out for your best interest from a place of care, love and empowerment. At times it feels like going out of your comfort zone, but it's always coupled with feeling understood. I would definitely recommend her!
Krista is great at what she does. I would highly recommend her to anyone! A great listener, a very gentle person, and she goes the pace that you want to go. Thank goodness for amazing people out there like Krista!
Krista listens well, and she is very patient and understanding. She helps me see things that I am having trouble seeing in the moment. She is very calm and friendly. Her guidance always makes a big impact and sticks with me throughout the week.
