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.

She’s supportive but also tells me what I need to hear, not what I want to hear. I tend to ramble but she is able to decipher the main point and show she listens and understands. She’s awesome.

I’ve only had one video session with Erika so far, but I have messaged her quite a bit before then.l too. From my interaction with her through messages and the video call, I can say that she is responsive, very professional yet warm, very insightful and knowledgeable, and she seems to see more than just my words and gives practical tips. I am so looking forward to working with her more.
