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.

She listens and gives actionable advice
Listens and is compassionate about my current insane situation.
Shannon is a very gentle and understanding, compassionate therapist. She's very non-judgemental and is a great listener and also offers up good solutions.
I recommend Betterhelp and Ms. Flaherty Gibbons for therapy. It has been very helpful to just have another person to help during stressful times especially when negative thoughts get into the thinking. I have realized you dont have to do it alone:) Thank you!
