It took me time with a different therapist before I was matched with Chelsea. And this is what I thought therapy would be. Chelsea listened to my concerns, asked me questions, and validated what I was feeling and helped me work through it. When I need therapy again, I want it to be with Chelsea Ostop

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.

Chelsea has been a perfect therapist since I have started. She’s very welcoming and talking to her is like talking to a best friend you have known your whole life
Chelsea Ostop is always professional in her sessions and she demonstrates knowledge and expertise in helping me overcome my obstacles. She is also caring and empathetic in response to my issues and works with me in helping me to overcome them. I appreciate her help and guidance and am able to see a difference in myself as a direct result from the help she has given me. I would recommend her to anyone new to therapy or those restarting. Let Chelsea help you become the best version of yourself just as she has helped me!
She is very helpful and positive
I appreciate all of the help and guidance that Chelsea provides. She is always professional and has a happy to help attitude. She displays great expertise in her field and it is having a positive effect on my healing. I will recommend her to any friends, family and associates who may benefit from her services.
Chelsea has been a great help to my mental help during these stressful few years. She is patient, kind and has a calming personality which makes it easy to open up to her. The guidance she has provided has helped me to define clearer boundaries and set goals. Over the past year I've been able to climb out of my hermit hole and start enjoying the little things again. Can't thank her enough :)
Chelsea’s very helpful and supportive. I always feel better after talking to her.
