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.

She is great. As someone who considers myself introverted she is very easy to talk to and offers straightforward feedback.
I have been having therapy sessions with Dr. Yanofsky for over a year and have appreciated the support through all of the events I have processed and experienced since I began therapy. Would definitely recommend her to anyone and have benefitted greatly from her assistance.

She cares and has helped me more than anything tackling my issues behind my drinking and continuing to move forward!

Brenda has really helped me through a few difficult times to navigate. She really is there for her patients and wants to see them succeed. Brenda has passed down great tools to help during stressful situations. She is a wonderful therapist.
Brenda is excellent! She is great at listening and knowing when to provide her input. She is honest and nonjudgemental. Brenda has been sincerely interested in understanding my perspective in order to better help me live my best life. She held me accountable for the goals that I set fourth and encouraged me to find balance between meeting them and forgiving myself for being human when my behaviors fell short. I highly recommend her.
