I was searching for a gentle therapist because I‘m already pretty harsh on myself in my head and life recently just feels like too many challenges, too much negativity. I needed a safe space and supportive guidance. It’s been a while since I had a habit of regular self-reflection and I think our sessions help me primarily with that, at least for now, don’t know how it will develop further. He helps me to figure out what I‘m feeling and what the issues are without pushing anything specific on me. It is not a quick process but I already had 1-2 little victories where I finally figured out something and then it helped me to handle the problem in real life better.

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.
