I feel like he understands and listens to everything being said. I struggle with a few things in life that made me feel like there wasn’t a light at the end of the tunnel but since I have started therapy and attended these sessions I have noticed a difference in myself just from the few sessions we have had. He’s a great listener and help you better understand what you’re going through and helps better understand yourself.

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.
