I started talking with Colleen about a month ago and in the short time I’ve found her to be very compassionate and easy to talk to. She offers encouraging suggestions after sincerely listening and checks in with my on the app even in between scheduled sessions. I’m looking forward to her helping me further as I continue to do some work on myself!

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.
