Sarah is great to work with. She not only listens, but offers advice and has opened up a variety of different types of therapy I wasn’t aware of before. I feel so much more informed and looking forward to continuing to uncover new methods.

Reviewed June 2024

I feel that Ms. Sarah is very sincere. She listens and gives her opinions. The most important she shows up for the video appointment and not give up on her patient (me).

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.
