Reviewed April 2024

I have only just started using this application. So far I am very happy with it and my therapist Vanessa Hernandez. She has been very understanding and accommodating to my struggles. As I am only in my infancy of my work I can’t say much right now but look forward to gaining skills to recovery through her guidance and support.

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.
