She's amazing, she has really helped me get things and order, with some of past traumas. In addition, reminding me of the things I work hard on, to grow in a better direction. She is great at making me feel comfortable with being myself and my emotions to help me.

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.

She is great

Reviewed August 2024

Ms. McCoy helped me tremendously when it came to being honest with myself about my feelings and prioritizing them for my well-being. She also used that insight to encourage me to independently make decisions that felt the best and healthiest to me. I feel like this process of honoring my true feelings and values and acting with them in mind is a crucial skill that I will remember for the rest of my life. She’s a great therapist.
