Diane listens closely and finds the one word that she hears when you tell her your feelings. The word that you may not even relize you're seeking or if you do she talks you through the situation on how to mentally accept it or work through it. She's non-judgemental, easy to talk to and has a way to know when to let things go or to pry deeper to get you to let out the pain you've been shoving down so you can confront it and hopefully start to heal better.

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.
