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 September 2024

I’ve had my doubts about therapy for years and years. Always had the mind-set of “If I can’t figure it out, no one can.” Then the day came and I woke up and realized I ran face-first into a wall I couldn’t overcome. That festered into things I didn’t like. So I finally sought guidance. I was matched with Dr. Moriarty and it’s been an absolute game changer. She’s super intuitive, majorly enjoyable to converse with about your concerns while feeling safe as you make yourself vulnerable doing so. She’s got this worldly-knowledge and experience that makes it to where she can relate to you and propose alternate points of view, multiple solutions, just eye-opening ways of thinking from that experience. I lucked out big time getting to meet and work with Dr. Moriarty. Thank you so much!

Reviewed August 2024

Great at listening and providing relevant feedback, gentle but also redirects the focus to places she sees a space to work on other underlying issues. Gives tools and relevant real life examples to help understand.
