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.

Overall rating:
He is great at what he does and I would recommend him to anyone who needs his help
Amazing great guy
2nd time is a charm for me. I switched therapists once and found Dr. Florence. In just a couple sessions he has given me good tools to cope
Dr. Florence is a great therapist! He knows how to effectively communicate and is there when I need him.
Dr. Florence helped me process so many emotions in just my first session, I can’t begin to explain how great he is. He is so open, warm & welcoming - but also “tough love” enough to get his point across. I highly recommend him!
Thumbs up
He's awesome
Dr. Florence is a great therapist. He really listened and help me understand my problems. I would recommend him for anyone! Thank you so much Dr. For everything.
Super easy to talk to and he makes sure to take notes so he can keep up with you personally!
Dr. Florence has done well calming me down and understanding my situation. He did suggest to me a couple of ways to go about my circumstances. He's pretty cool and good at transitioning from small talk to getting right to the point. He doesn't interrupt when I'm blabbering about nonsense and me knowing that I'm wasting my time bringing up past experiences. He listens and it's okay to look back at my past. He does well in helping me to look forward. Overall, He's been great.
