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.

Heather is wonderful, I’m so thankful for her.

Reviewed May 2024

Heather has been a life saver. In just two sessions, she identified red flags in my relationship that I had become numb to (and, therefore, unaware), and gave me guidance on how to remove myself from the situation quickly and safely.
