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 understanding and a good listener who's not judgmental at all. Had great self growth and experience with his guidance.
Very amazing therapist! Very helpful and wants to really know me and my situation! So thankful to have this chance to get better and with the help of someone really good at what he does!
Jovens asks really great questions and guides our sessions and discussions with curiosity and care. He also takes time to provide insights where appropriate, and I've found the time with him very helpful.
Jovens is a very personable and intelligent therapist. He's great at listening to you and giving feedback quickly and trying to help you get to the point. I enjoy working with him and felt very comfortable trusting him right off the bat.
Great communicator and has a calming presence.
Felt connected 5 minutes into the second call. Very good listener. I appreciate my time with Jovens
Jovens is a great therapist he is very attentive and understanding of my particular situation. He is a good listener very friendly I feel so comfortable talking too him especially being he was a complete stranger, Jovens always try's to make sure he's understanding things about me even if its unclear at first but takes the time and I think that is very important I would recommend him 100%
