I was pretty nervous to start with yet another new therapist, especially one solely online. Alyssa has made me feel so comfortable in opening up and talking about what’s going on in my life. She offers a variety of ways to meet as well which makes it even easier for me to open up. I would highly recommend Alyssa to anyone new to therapy, or even looking for a better therapist.

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.
