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.

Sondra is fantastic, I feel seen and heard. She is helping me talk through hard emotions like shame that I have avoided uncovering in the past. I love her approachability.
Sondra is so kind and understanding. I feel better after every session with her although we go through some tough conversations. I don’t know how I survived without her! She gives me actionable steps to deal with problems in my life.

Good Listener. Authentic
Great experience Sondra does great!!
Sondra has helped me out immensely in a short amount of time. I’ve already told her a ton and the actually listening part even if I get a little off the rails she immediately adapts to that specific incident as I can tend to ramble on. It’s amazing the progress I’ve made in like 3 week! Can’t wait to continue!
She’s the best therapist I’ve ever had! Just with a few sessions she has helped me tremendously to better my life! She’s amazing!
She was very welcoming and personable. She made me feel a lot better about choosing to begin therapy. She eased my nerves and was a great communicator.
She's very supportive and listens well. Works with you to find healthy way to process issue.
