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.

She is the best therapist! It’s my first time to talk to someone professional about my mental health and I’ve never felt any better. I’m happy I found Ms. Merian. She is amazing.
She is a great listener and her energy and aura make you feel like she understands what you are going through. She also pushed me to do more things in my life to grow.
