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.

Patricia is great! I wanted a black therapist when I first came on line. Ms Patricia answered first and then she would say things that captured my attention so I scheduled an appointment and she listened understood and gave sound advice.
Patricia is great! From our first session, I knew she was going to be a good fit for my needs. She shares her own stories, which makes me feel more comfortable about sharing my stories. She is interactive and likes to be involved / receive updates in between sessions, which is nice. I highly recommend her!
Patricia is Amazing very polite and respectful, I love that she treats me more like a friend than a client, I highly recommend her she’s the best!!!

I only had two session with Patricia but she was very personable and a great listener. She is a straight shooter which I really appreciate, and helped point me in the direction of couple's therapy.
Professional and very patient. She helps me a lot.
Patricia has been the best to meet with and has been consistently helping me since our first session. I plan to continue meeting with her continuously and I would recommend her to anyone.
I had an instant connection with Patricia. She is the best therapist for me because she listens, she responds quickly when I have questions and she cares and it’s very evident that she cares for her patients. So glad I was matched with her.
Patricia is honest and is attention to detail for things that I couldn’t see or admit to myself. She makes me feel comfortable with her friendly persona and reassurance of a safe space.
Patricia seems very mellow, knowledgeable, caring and all around a good person. I really enjoyed her help trying to get my mother-in-law feeling a bit better about herself. I would definitely recommend her and will definitely recommend this platform better help to most anyone that’s looking for talk therapy. Thank you
I Love her. She is super nice and outgoing person. She is always trying to help. To be honest I have a lot of good and positive feedback to her as a person because she treat you like a friend more like a patient. A very kind person. La puedo recomendar por seguro. Es muy sonriente y todo lo toma con una buena actitud. Siempre ayudando y en todo momento.
