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.

Monica's help has been a tremendous help, for this has been the most difficult time for me. I don't feel judged, I feel listened to and truly appreciate the insight she seems to have with the limited info I have shared with her. This service has been a lifesaver in the biggest storm.

Monica is wonderfully empathetic and still very straightforward with her advice. She has given me a lot of validation and much to think about. I’m so grateful for her.

Reviewed January 2021

I appreciate that my counselor never made me feel like my problems were trivial or not important. I've never been to counseling before so I was nervous about the whole experience. I'm very thankful I took the leap. I'm learning many useful skills that apply to many areas of my life.

She’s amazing! Too bad it was so short.
