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.

The first therapist to not judge me and go at my own pace when it comes to healing/bettering myself
Honestly couldn’t see myself having a better therapist, Kelli has been amazing!
Kelli has listened to me, to my concerns, and made me face things that anger me or scare me but doesn't push me to do so. She has encouraged me to look inside and examine the things that lead me here. She has done more for me than I could have asked for.
So far, she seems great. Insightful.
I’m truly grateful for the safe space and insights that I’m able to unpack with Kelli
Kelli has exceeded my expectations with being what I needed right now, which is honest feedback and support.
She is very helpful and makes sure you are comfortable with goals set. She also fosters a safe and comfortable environment to talk.
