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.

Kristy is amazing! She truly listens to me, and together we focus on achieving my goals. I've been working with her for over a year now, and I couldn’t be happier with everything we’ve accomplished together.
She’s kind and attentive. She always listens and tries her best to understand the people she works with. Always trying to relate and build relationships with her patients.
in the month that I was in therapy, all I really have to say is that Kristy was always there to talk to me and she provided very healthy, supportive ways to get me through my anxiety. I still struggle with it, but she taught me how to control it better. I would highly recommend her.
I am deeply grateful for the support and care I have received from Kristy. Her kindness and compassion have been a beacon of light during some of my darkest moments. Her empathetic approach and unwavering support have made a profound difference in my life. Thanks to her, I have found a renewed sense of hope and strength. She has truly been instrumental in helping me overcome feelings of hopelessness and despair. I highly recommend Kristy to anyone seeking a compassionate and skilled therapist who genuinely cares about their well-being.
I like her. She has helped me a lot.
Kristy has been very prompt with our times, and very open to a variety of therapeutic strategies. I would recommend her to anyone!
My therapist is awesome. She’s so smart and witty. She helps me with a wide range of issues. She supports me. She listens. She doesn’t push me.
I absolutely love my therapist Kristy. She is very thoughtful and considerate 100% of the time. I could not have asked for a better experience with both the platform and who it matched me with. :)
She is wonderful!
Kristy was great and very helpful with what I was going through.
Kristy Groves is a superb therapist. She not only fully listens to the patient/client's needs, she also rephrases her understanding of the issue back as a question. To establish full understanding between both patient and therapist. She is willing to offer various methods of treatment, and is not one to force treatment on a patient, should they decline. Highly recommended.
I’ve had a lot of breakthroughs in just the first few weeks. I’m so glad to have met kristy and get to work with her to grow and change in a positive manner.
she’s very soothing , and nice. i feel comfortable talking with her
11 out of 10 therapist, highly recommend!
Good at clarifying my issues and offering alternative behaviors to counteract stress
I felt comfortable speaking with Kristy our first visit. Kristy has been friendly and encouraging. This is my first time with therapy and I am enjoying it.
Kristy is really helping me get through my issues and taping more into the trauma I've experienced so I can heal.
I feel very comfortable expressing concerns and feelings with her and she is very good at communicating her understanding back to me. She takes in and provides an outside look at things and offers great advice.
So far she's been wonderful. She listens to me and is so professional, I've already been seeing improvements.
I have loved working with Kristy these past few weeks. She is attentive to her patients, extremely respectful of my personal preferences, and very open to different and unique ways of thinking. Not to mention, she answers every single annoying question I have very thoughtfully. I'd highly recommend if you are considering working with her.
