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.

The best therapist ever
My sessions with Dr Paul have been very positive and helpful. Sometimes life is a rough road and having a qualified therapist to talk to smoothes out the rough patches.
Dr. Paul has been phenomenal to work with! Since starting with him over a year ago, he has helped me work through multiple issues (personal and relationship) and has always been a great source to work through my troubles with. I highly recommend Dr. Paul!
Emmanuel is warm, inviting, supportive, and encouraging yet also provides a gentle nudge to explore deeper with the intent of growth, which he celebrates when he sees. Highly recommend.
Words can not describe what Emmanuel has done for me since we have been on this journey. Emmanuel is great; letting me speak, great for encouraging me,observing my thoughts and helps me understand what is needed for me to be a better version of myself. Thank you so much for your support and encouragement. I highly recommend my guy Emmanuel
Very wise individual whom has an expertise in therapy. I find that he is a strong listener and compassionate individual.
I’ve been working with Emmanuel for over 1.5 years and after every session I feel better and more level-headed than the day before. I’m ready to tackle the week or weekend and go about life!
I’m making progress with my issues through the help from Emmanuel.
Emmanuel has helped me cope through a lot of my trials and tribulations and has offered more than reassurance but exercises for me to apply which is something I need for accountability. Great listener and makes me feel seen!
Very smart, helpful, logical and understanding.
He’s very genuine and authentic. I appreciate how he give me all the clinical terminology but then also breaks it down for me little by little to help me better understand. I feel like he’s genuinely listening but also hearing me, if that makes any sense.
Working with Emmanuel has been awesome. He has been able to listen to what I’m going through and ask thought provoking questions to help me land in a better mental and physical state.
I’ve had a few therapists over the years but Emmanuel is by far the best I’ve had. He's a great listener. Lots of empathy and understanding. Takes great notes and summarizes well. Also, he really pushes me, in a positive way, to go deeper. If you want a superficial therapist, he’s not the one. But if you truly want to go deeper and want to feel like you are constantly doing “the work” then I highly recommend him.
He’s a phenomenal therapist who really makes me feel heard. I am comfortable revealing all components that make me feel uneasy with him, because of his comforting nature.
Emmanuel has been a blessing and a delight to work with. I feel safe and confident confiding in him. He’s very understanding, patient, thoughtful, and makes talking with him feel like talking with a friend I’ve know for years. Overall superb professionalism, clear and well spoken, exceptional listener. Would 10/10 recommend. Thank you Mr. Emmanuel!
I’ve had only a handful of session with Emmanuel and they have been very informational and insightful. He is very credible and understanding and has given me exercises and perspectives that have helped my overall communication and way of processing. I’m looking forward to continue my journey with his assistance.
Great listener. Great feed back and advise. And understands issues I have.
Great guy with a really chill and understanding personality! Highly recommend!
Emmanuel has been fantastic to work with so far. He has been very professional and is easy to talk to. He’s a good communicator. For example, we both know sports and he’s used sports analogies to get some key points across and really hit home with me. I’d definitely recommend him, especially to other younger men like me
Emmanuel is in all honesty an amazing therapist overall an amazing person. He thinks about every perspective and it’s very helpful, he’s supportive in every way, so kind hearted and comforting to talk to. As someone who always had problems talking about their feelings Emmanuel quickly made me feel comfortable with talking about it wether it’s tough to talk about or about anything else. I appreciate Emmanuel for being who he is and I’m happy to know that when I reached out for help Emmanuel was there and ready to help me.
He is a chill guy. Knows how to approach a session and is not gone deaf. Great at hearing out what you want to convey. Would definitely see him again.
Emmanuel is great since we have our sessions for a year now. I enjoy our appointments. Since I been matched with Emmanuel he has helped me with a lot of things and I am grateful for him and his recommendations. Highly recommend Emmanuel.
Very understanding and receptive.
I am lucky to have Emmanuel as my therapist. He is relatable and easy to talk to. He knows how to be soft and stern when needed.
He is very supportive and has helped me a lot on my journey after a break up. He is a good listener and gives good feedback and recommendations.
Emmanuel is a fantastic therapist! He really helped me through a difficult season with the relationships in my life. His cultural understanding, empathy, and being able to hold me accountable for how I’m showing up and thinking about a situation really helped me get through some turbulent family situations and unique experiences in my relationship. As a man (especially someone who comes from a strong cultural background) selecting Emmanuel for a therapist will be one of the best things you can do. He is highly skilled at helping you reframe your thinking, see things with a fresh lens, and brings a compassionate and wise encouragement of the things you’re doing well and opportunities for growth that you should be mindful of and he makes sure with his check-ins that you’re progressing in that area. Highly, highly recommend this therapist!
Emmanuel is a great therapist that’s been helping me navigate a hostile work environment. Very resourceful that’s helped me understand what's happening at my job.
Emmanuel is amazing. Thank you for helping me out!
Emmanuel is great I really enjoy our sessions together. He makes me feel comfortable and heard.
Emmanuel is intelligent, kind, and extremely thoughtful. His wisdom, processing, ad communication skills are one of a kind. I specifically sought therapy to discuss a relationship. My partner is moving long distance with me and I wanted to make sure it was the right decision. Emmanuel help me clarify my thoughts by listening, asking questions, and giving me assignments at the end of each session. He was brilliant and after 2 sessions I had confidence in my decision. I feel much happier that I have made a decision based on a thoughtful analysis which was only possible because of Emmanuel. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking therapy.
Emmanuel is an excellent listener and counselor. I highly recommend him.
Empathetic, great listener, and encourages you focus on what’s important. Really appreciate the perspective he brought to the table as I struggled with a life problem.
Emmanuel is a great listener. He’s been receptive to the things I’ve shared and I feel comfortable discussing issues I may have or things I believe may be in the way of my progress. He lets the conversation flow naturally and I’m confident towards the end of each session.
Emmanuel is a very empathetic therapist who helped me tremendously with my personal issue. My sessions with him allowed me to know myself at a deeper level including my limitations—both of which saved my marriage. He is an excellent listener, and he offered advice in a non-judgmental manner. I highly recommend him as a therapist.
Emmanuel is wonderful! In the past 8 months he has been able to reframe my doubt and assist in building my self confidence through my career transition and search, setting boundaries with my family and moving into my relationship with my partner. He is well rounded and just an honest, relatable and sincere man to speak to.
I appreciate the effort that Emmanuel puts forth for me. He actively listens and speaks to provoke thinking. Awesome!
