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.

Great therapist. Listens, guides, and helps you regain your value.
He is knowledgeable, compassionate, and wise. Along with being impartial and timely, I would recommend him to anyone who needs a bilingual-Spanish or only Spanish services!
Joel's advice has been a huge help to me. He listens well and asks me questions to get deeper into why I have certain feelings or thoughts. I always enjoy my conversations with him. He's very relatable and I find it easy to talk to him.
Joel it is a good listener and kind person. He gave me some ideas to grow and great feedback about my actual circumstances.
Joel was eager and interested to know me first. This was very important because he does not rush. Then segue into my life interests to understand my pain points. Joel is always to discuss things on simple terms to impact the bigger issues that will benefit my life greatly.
He is an expert on his field and has a passion to serve the Lord through his work! He provides excellent service as well as always pointing me to Christ! No matter what I bring or ask, I know for certain that he will assist in using a Godly lens for therapy and healing! Excellent! Highly recommend! It’s also about spiritual healing, and that is tackled and addressed!
He listens and lets me talk when I need to talk. He gives me great information to work with
Joel is a great therapist. He is intelligent and knows how to give insightful feedback. I like that he listens without any preconceived ideas about me, then gives me recommendations. It's been a very good experience, so far.
My therapist offer me great advice and listens to me as I talk about what’s been going on in my life. Sometimes we talk about topics that are currently bothering me and others we delve deeper into topics that have been present for a longer time. He knows exactly what I need to talk about each time we talk it seems.
Joel Miranda was professional, caring and engaging. He help me to see multiple perspectives and gain insights into myself. I would highly recommend him to others!
Great listener.
Joel is very kind, a great listener and he offered great support.
Sessions are very helpful. Since starting, l feel like I am processing my issues well and have returned to a state of healthy thinking and wellness…. Thank you Joel
Joel is amazing, kind, and listens, but he also gives me great advice and navigation through life when I request it for specific situations. I've cried, laughed, and smiled in our sessions; working with him has been amazing and refreshing.
Amazing, genuine and nice person. Very understanding and passionate. Truly feels like he cares about me when we speak.
It has been a pleasure sharing with Mr. Miranda. I actually feel a bit better every session.
He is excellent
Great listening skills. He was able to understand what my primary concerns were. He was highly concerned with what my needs were and he was able to help me talk about what I really didn’t want to address but had to address with myself.
Joel is pleasant, sensitive and validating. Our therapy is exactly what I'm looking for, and we fell into a natural rhythm. I do 98% of the talking, he validates me, and then asks a single question that makes me cry. Because it hit the right nerve. Lol. He seems to get to the crux of things quickly.
I was assisting Mr. Newby with his session and Joel was very supportive of my help and ideas as we worked toward helping Mr. Newby.
I've had one session, missed my 2nd session because technical difficulty on my end. I really appreciate his evaluation of my situation.
Just getting started and enjoying it.
