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.

I look forward to my sessions with McKayla as she listens to me, understands me, and always provides insight and guidance that helps me move forward and get out of my own way.
She’s very open to talking and allowing me to express my feelings while focusing on my goals
I have only been working with McKayla for a few weeks, and already have hope I can get through this. She and I are aligned in my goals, and feeling hopeful and recognizing small wins feels like huge progress.
I am a guy that has never believed in therapy but definitely do now. I did have some questions as to age and life experiences but am completely over those concerns. McKayla has been amazing.
