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.

Very proffesional
Still top tier at this point. Willing to acknowledge my feelings and also willing to tell me when I’m wrong.
Very good at listening, and gives advice where needed. Also very open to giving biblical advice when I ask things on biblical topics.
David has been extremely helpful. He has great insight and is extremely knowledgeable. He has been kind, compassionate, and always available. He has helped me to be a better communicator and helped me get more in touch with how I was feeling and why. He has helped me to connect with my wife at a deeper level and strengthen all my relationships.
Kind, intelligent, ethical and dedicated.
He is a good guy he listens to me and helps me understand things that I haven’t noticed and things I need help to change
I have been working with David for the last three months after having extensive therapy with 8 other therapists off and on for the last 10 years. David has surpassed all of my other therapists for several reasons. His approach and willingness to learn, listen, and adapt to his client’s needs are amazing. Often, I had trouble with other therapists who could not relate to modern day issues (such as race, economic conditions, financial conditions, family dynamics) and it caused extreme frustration and a lack of trust. David had made such an impact in my life that I have been able to fully start to heal from years of childhood abuse, grief, and unforeseen circumstances. It is very rare to find someone such as David, who takes his clients complete life story and can help utilize them in a way that helps them blossom in the future. I had to write this review for so many reasons, because there are so many other people who could benefit from David’s help.
Best therapist I've ever had

I Enjoy working with David.
David’s been great to me and I have seen my life turn around
Excellent service, timely responses and great insight. Would definitely recommend David for any number of needs you may have.
Before working with David Routly I had almost given up on therapy. I had tried several therapist from churches, private practice, and group therapy and had been very frustrated with the lack of real concern and honest communication or understanding. David has been the most professional and personal counsel I've had.
David is a great listener and he provides insight and perspective that has been very impactful. Highly recommended!
David has helped me considerably with an eating disorder, body dysmophia, and trauma. He's been very kind and is reassuring.
David is kind and compassionate. He works with me to give me resolution when I am feeling low
First session was phenomenal. He knew exactly what it was I was going through and how to set up a plan immediately to get started
He listens to me attentively and always offers good advice and perspective. He is always on time for the appointments and went out of his way to assist me with my service animal process.
He is insightful, knowledgeable, and makes me think.
He’s very helpful. He gives practical lessons on how to communicate and how to not. We then apply this to specific issues and relationship scenarios.
I really enjoy working with David. He is very thoughtful and kind.
Im very impressed with David. He seems to have a great understanding of my perspective.

Very helpful and kind. Made very good use of our time and I definitely recommend him!
David has been a huge help to me, I really highly recommend him.
David has been am amazing therapist. I really couldn't have asked for anyone better. He has helped me through the toughest period of my life. And has been great at messaging back everytime. He has been the best therapist I've ever had.
David is attentive and caring. He truly hears what you’re saying and makes you feel like you’re not alone. Getting matched with David has been such a positive influence on my mental health and because of that - a positive influence on my family.
David is the first therapist I’ve ever had who has truly listened to my concerns and worked to help me turn my life into what I want it to be, and not what they think it should be.
It's amazing how much David can pick up and understand from our short conversations. Thank you for being the necessary catalyst in my healing and growth! The experience has been corrective indeed, restoring hope for my personal therapy. I feel very lucky and blessed to finally meet a therapist who seems to get me, such that I wish I had begun earlier. Thank you.
david is an extremely skilled and caring therapist. i recommend him without reservation.
David has been extremely helpful. He listens very carefully and then provides very interesting insight, but the best part is that he explains how he arrives at such conclusions or gives me tools to understand the reasoning behind it allowing me to further process. Moreover, he has helped me prioritize the issues that I wanted to cover in therapy.
Best therapist I’ve ever worked with, by far
Being able to connect with your therapist I think is a very important part of the process. Being able to open up, and have someone who would relate and understand issues the way you do, is really how you get the best of this service. David was definitely that person for me- very professional and understanding and helped me understand things from a very different perspective. I've grown as a result and highly recommend David.
David is a great therapist, who has lots of knowledge on different concerns, and I’m sure will be as beneficial to you as he was too me. He listens and is able to look at things from a different perspective. Highly recommend.
David listens intently and offers steps for me to take that feel reasonable and positive. I feel safe talking to him and sharing my heart with him. I appreciate our partnership
My experience so far is really good. I have received different ways to cope with certain things. Talking to him feels really good and I do not feel judged at all.
David has a genius for kindness and understanding, which is remarkable. Definitely enough to restore anyone's faith in human nature!
David Routly has been a phenomenal therapist. I've seen a few other therapists and so far he has definitely been the best. I truly appreciate the advice and counsel he has given. And he gives lots of homework which has been very helpful as well.
David really helped me with dealing with low self worth, anxiety and recovering from psychosis. He is friendly, attentive and knowledgeable - a calm rational voice.
As a female i was hesitant of having a male counselor at first but David proved me wrong. He made me feel comfortable and heard. He is truly a professional and you can tell he loves his job. Thank you so much David for each session which made a huge impact in my mental health. I couldn’t recommend you enough.
David is awesome. I was very reluctant about seeking for therapy, specially in an online format. I must say that I couldn't be more fortunate to have found a great counselor. David listens and takes his time to understand what you are going through, always giving some great insight and helpful exercises. I highly recommend his work.
David was such an amazing counselor. He's really hped me in my journey of growing and getting though all of my hardships in my life that I am going through currently. I would love to continue to work with him in the near future.
Even though we worked together for a little time, the experience was enlightening. With the things I learned here, i could finally make peace with myself and relax.
