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.

Amazing
She is a great listener, supporter and has my best interests at heart. Keeps me focused on my life and what matters most to me. Thank you!
Gentle, understanding, listens and acknowledges every word I say. Knows the right pressure points, when to push and when to let be. Happy, funny, personality. Feels like a real person from start to finish. Barb is a great resource.

Barbara is a great therapist. She communicates well and helps me along my path of understanding.
She is amazing, thoughtful and talks to you like a friend to get you to relax enough to open up. I'm sure for some this is like shucking an oyster but I'm pretty outgoing and she really helps me with my self confidence
