I would highly recommend Courtney Nelson as a Therapist. She is kind, compassionate, sensitive and always available. She is a credit to herself and her Profession. She presents suggestions for clients to work on issues and does not push the individual to achieve goals in a specific time frame…. Very patient, understanding, flexible, consistent, and genuinely interested in her clients. She also mixes some humor in sessions when one’s pain is excruciating.

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.
