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.

Viviana is an excellent therapist that makes me feel incredibly comfortable and safe to be able to share everything with her and be 100% honest with her. She never makes me feel judged and I can say with confidence I already notice many positive changes in me. I highly recommend her!
Viviana has been great and helped me get through this tough time! I highly recommend her! :)
Viviana has been there for me like a second mom. We are able to relate about a lot of things, in ways that have made me feel so genuinely validated in therapy for the first time in my life. She listens and challenges me and has helped me find so much relief in trauma I have experienced throughout my life. I cannot recommend Viviana enough!
Viviana is wonderful! She always makes me feel extremely safe and heard. I can be unapologetically myself and I am confident she will give me the kindness, support, confidence, and tools to be a better person whether in session or on my own. I am excited to continue to work with her!
