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.

Cari so far has listened to me very well, she understands my issues and ultimately assists me to better myself
Life can be difficult. It's always one thing after another, but my therapist is a life line. She helps me keep myself grounded and focused on making the best choices for myself. Mental health is is extremely important.
Cari is very attentive and soft spoken in the most nurturing way. Her manner really helps me open up and feel comfortable. Often she says very few words, 'cause I have so many, but always she supports me when I cease talking and give her opportunity to. That said when I finish my story, she is always ready with validating words, and 2 to 3 sentence summaries of reinforcing how I might feel, suggestions, worksheets, practices, webinars, reading recommendations, etc. I'm just incredibly happy and grateful to have her as my advisor and recipient of sometimes hard stories.
Cari responds to what I need and checks in with me, offering encouragement
I feel like she genuinely cared about the style of counseling I wanted and made sure to accommodate me when I expressed my biggest concerns. She gets straight to the point and is great with suggestions.
Cari is absolutely amazing. I was very worried about going to a therapist. She made me feel really at ease and you can tell she really cares. I’m so happy I got matched with her!
Kind, attentive, compassionate
Cari has been very caring and sympathetic. It has been nice to let go of some of my problems to her and she listens.
I like her. She is understanding and very knowledgeable and she has mad patience with me...thank you Cari. Hugs. God bless!
It's very nice to have access to to someone who can help. My therapist has been a blessing many times over.
She is a very modern and understanding therapist who asks a lot of questions in order to help the best way she can. Within the few short weeks she’s been my therapist, I have learned so much and have really started the healing process I needed.
