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.

April has been wonderful, supportive, and helped me find actual solutions to most of my issues.

Posting this in case I can’t at some point uhhh.....so incredible. I think that’s a good description. She is a very good listener and very honest and very real with you. She doesn’t sugar coat things but she also doesn’t bluntly tell you things that would harm you rather than help. A heads up, in general, this does need to be said. If you are someone who has self dx’d with borderline personality disorder or questioning if you have it? Let me make it clear because I know the horror stories from people who have BPD she is one of the rare few that will listen to you and not disregard what you say. She will listen and within the BPD community, that is a major step forward as well as a signal that she is someone safe to talk about BPD because she doesn’t show any signs of a bias/hate/stigma that are seen among others. Other than that she’s great at helping you plan things out and so good at following through. I highly recommend her.

I have been with April for a few weeks and she is amazing. Attentive, engaged, and empathetic. Would definitely recommend!

Reviewed February 2020

I’ve only had a few sessions with April, but she truly is a wonderful counselor. I had tried counseling previously but didn’t particularly mesh well with who I was seeing. April has shown me how counseling truly should work, and what it feels like when you find the right one. She listens non judgmentally, validates how I feel, sends me relevant resources, and is able to find patterns to my jumbled thinking that I’m not aware of. Could not recommend her enough.

April is fantastic. For the first time I feel like someone is actually trying to understand what is at the root of all this, rather than walking in with a judgment and trying to walk me into it. I feel at ease, and she is always responsive - sometimes faster than I can be. I am VERY happy!
