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.

Lourdes was supportive and provided good suggestions for coping. She helped me work on my self esteem and life outlook.
Lourdes is wonderful to talk to. She gives such good advice and reminds me how important it is to take care of myself and how to keep the focus of my life on me. She has helped me so much. I recommend her to anyone who needs help and motivation with self-esteem problems. She is awesome.
Lourdes is attentive and gentle and helpful!
Lourdes has been very helpful. While I haven't delved deep into my history of past trauma yet, she's definitely been helping with what is happening in my life at the moment, which is what is important to me now. She gives me tools and materials for me to use to work towards what I want in life and to make me dig deeper into my brain to understand why I want it. It's been very helpful and eye-opening. I would definitely recommend her to anyone.
