Recent reviews
After two sessions, I've been nothing but pleased in talking with Valentina. Although I'd consider myself extroverted, I'm not one to rub elbows with people that I can tell don't have my best interest at heart; Valentina is warm, knowledgeable, and is clearly interested in my well-being. She does a bang-up job of keeping me aligned and asking relevant questions, as I have a tendency to be a bit tangential in thoughtful conversation. I've loved speaking with her, and I plan to continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
