I cannot recommend Charlene enough. I appreciate her candid honesty and willingness to dig beyond the surface-level pain to get to the heart of the matter. The time is always spent with respect and trust. Her wealth of knowledge makes every second of the session valuable for inspecting inward and answering the questions you need to be asking yourself.

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.
