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.

Love my sessions with Lillian. She really listens without judgement

Reviewed January 2024

I have been with Lillian for a little over 2 months now. From the beginning the most important aspect of our sessions that I walked away with was the feeling that what I was experiencing was valid. There have been multiple times where she has shifted my perspective with her questioning technique that I would not have arrived at on my own. I thoroughly look forward to my sessions with Lillian every week, as much as I learn about myself, I always walk away feeling lighter, and that I've caught up with a long time friend who has my best interests at heart and is helping me become the best version of myself.
