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.

Three sessions in, and Michelle has already helped me immensely. I look forward to chatting with her each week, and I SO appreciate her holding me accountable, while being very understanding, as I work to improve my life, realize my self-worth and achieve my goals.
Michelle is very patient, supportive and thoughtful. She helps me to see a new perspective and take a step back from what is affecting me and I appreciate her candidness.
Michelle is a great therapist✨Her energy is very positive✨She instinctively relates to where I am and uses thought provoking questions to help me discover how I got here as well as where do I go from here✨We discuss desired outcomes, next steps and action items to assist me in becoming the best version of myself✨ Great match✨
Great therapist, great listener, and great advice. Looking forward to the next session!
An amazing therapist who easily identifies root issues and intuitively develops concrete practices for healing.
