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.

I must say that I am very thankful for the sessions I had with Ms. Desiree, she opened doors in me that were closed in my past. I now see that I was harming myself by getting frustrated on the search for my future. I still a lot of work to do but I am confident that I will be a better person to me. Mahalo
Being from Hawaii, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that Ms. Desiree Cantorna-Ibarra understands and respects the local Hawaiian culture. Our family culture and upbringing make a big difference in why it can be difficult to deal with the today's challenges and perspectives. I was amazed with her profound concepts that hit home for me.
Desiree was extremely empathetic and understanding towards my situation. She provided an alternative perspective to help enlighten my views & gain direction towards resolutions.
I’ve had therapist before, and Desiree so far has been the best highly recommend her.
