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.

Reviewed July 2024

Richard is kind, understanding, non judge mental and extremely helpful. He focuses on action items and tools to really make a difference in your mental well-being. He helped me deal with emotional issues and past experiences with a much more level head and with tools that effectively help me change my thought patterns. I will keep implementing the steps he suggested throughout my life.
