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.

Very good listener.

I'm excited about the insight Helema Ballard has provided me with.
Helema has help me overcome so much the past 6 months. She’s very flexible with her scheduling, she always make me feel like she has time to speak with me. I look forward to her therapy sessions and consider her family. Thank you for everything!
Helema is a great listener and very easy to talk to. She makes you feel comfortable and really encourages you to take action so you can improve your wellbeing.
Listens to understand and helps me to see another perspective when needed. Respectful, loving, and knowledgeable. She genuinely cares.
I like that she challenges me to think deeper into the route of my feelings. This is exactly what I needed.
Helema is the best therapist I’ve ever had! I’ve been to 4 therapist in my lifetime and none of them made me feel comfortable or look forward to therapy. She’s a great listener, never interrupts or makes me feel judged. She gives feedback and enlightens me on my perception of life. Our sessions are very productive, I always feel refresh and more confident. I honestly consider her family and we’ve only had 3 sessions. THANK YOU HELEMA!!!
