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.

Dr. Lopez made me feel comfortable right away. I’m feeling so much better just after a couple of weeks. I finally understand where my anxiety is coming from and how to cope.
She is easy to talk to and supportive. She gave me resources and tools to use between sessions which has made it easier for me to monitor my anxiety.
Dr Lopez has great insights and can see and hearly clearly, the vague issues that I circle around in conversation. She is relatable and knowledgeable and helps me gain a new perspective on a variety of problems and relationships in my life.
So down to earth and understanding!!
Very beneficial
