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.

Bret has been amazing to work with. I really appreciate the way he asks questions and listens to what it is that I am trying to say and explain. He has been amazing at helping me understand more about myself and what I am thinking and trying to do.
I feel Bret really listens to me and "hears" me with what I'm trying to say.
Bret is super great. He’s need someone to be brutally honest and asked him for that and he picked it right up.
Should all be strongly agree! Bret is a straightforward therapist and has given me valuable tools to better my life. My anxiety has dramatically decreased since our sessions began.
