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.

Tena is a wonderful therapist. She has made me grow and challenge my beliefs. She is intuitive and has taught me so much in every session.
I've only had one session so far and found it very helpful. Looking foward in having another session with Tena when possible. She did great. Very informative and has a healthy knowledge of what she does.
I really enjoy working with Tena. I feel like connecting with a therapist can make or break the success of the sessions and I feel so lucky I have a wonderful connection with her. She really listens and gives really good resources. I look forward to meeting with her and have already recommended her to others.
She’s Great! Very supportive & loves to help and be there
Mrs. Williams is an incredible clinician. She listens attentively and validates my concerns, offering insightful guidance and unwavering support. I truly appreciate the extra time she dedicates to ensuring that my needs are fully met. The worksheets and tasks she provides between sessions have been invaluable in helping me stay on track with my healing journey. If you're committed to your personal growth and well-being, I highly recommend working with Mrs. Williams.
She’s amazing!
