About online counseling

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.

Geri is the best therapist I’ve ever had. She has helped me through the most difficult time in my life. She not only listens and follows up, with a strong attention to detail on each therapy session, but I appreciate all of her knowledge and expertise in addition to her empathy. Her wealth of knowledge and resources helps me gain understanding and helps with processing certain topics, emotions, challenges etc. I look forward to every session and can’t thank her enough for helping me as I grow and work on myself.
