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.

It’s been a short few weeks with Debbie. However, she has helped tremendously, helping sort out and manage whatever needs I had for personal and family matters. Debbie is a great listener, provides tools and follows up promptly. I am very pleased working with Debbie.
Debbie is awesome. She isn't judgemental, she listens & really wants to help. I wish she were my therapist indefinitely. 1 of the best therapist I've had honestly.
