Truly such and amazing God fearing woman. I connected the first conversation we had. I felt comfortable to just open up and talk. There was a point we just talked about God… I really needed that. She was there outside of sessions. She gets active with (work sheets and assignments) you are very impactful. I enjoyed our time together thank you Takara.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
