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.

Dr. Bailey is not only helpful, but honest. She listens and does a great job of keeping me on topic and on focus of the task at hand. I appreciate that she holds me accountable for my actions and she offers such a positive insight on my situation. I honestly wish I could see her in person , but video appointments have been a good experience this far. I don’t know if she will read this but thank you for all you do.
