I think that the thing I like best about Laura is that she is able to tell when I need support, and when I need new ideas. Sometimes I need my assumptions challenged, and she is able to do that kindly and tactfully. I often find that my sessions result in more potential options, and more confidence to implement those options. I'm an artist, and my improved confidence has resulted in more and better ideas for my work, which I really appreciate.

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.
