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.

Susan listens and pays excellent attention. She goes above and beyond to make sure that I am understanding the concepts she is helping me understand and she spends a great deal of time making sure that she understands where my head is at. She reaches out between sessions and reads all of my journal entries, gives great homework assignments, and I feel she genuinely cares about how I am doing on a daily basis.
Susan is extremely personable, and I appreciate it so much. She easy to talk to, and makes me feel comfortable expressing my feelings and concerns. 100% recommend.
