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.

Amazing!!!
Life changing therapist . Feel like a different person . He has got me though so many different hard times and worked through many traumas
Elrick is the best, I'm so happy i met him. He has impacted my life in so many ways. So grateful
From our first session there was a strong understanding of what I am dealing with. He immediately started working with me on ways to improve and regain confidence in myself.
Elrick is great at listening and connecting the dots and then sharing his own experiences and stories that directly relate to yours. He is more than willing to put in the extra work to help his patience and approaches counselling in a very direct, realistic, but kind way. His sense of humour and ability to laugh is refreshing and helps to lighten the mood.
Thanks so much again for everything, the sessions were wonderful and everything has been immensely helpful.
I look forward to my weekly sessions with Elrick ! I feel my growth has been amazing since starting therapy with you . Thank you
Very knowledgeable. Offers very helpful guidance without repetition. Has been extremely helpful.
Dr. Elrick is very helpful and understanding
Elrick is a wise and compassionate individual. He has a unique ability to express his perspective in ways that even a best friend might not. He has helped me understand so much about my own psyche. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a therapist, especially with a similar background to me.
Great guy and excellent listener
Polite and professional
I've spoken to Elrivk twice do far and have had great results both times. He's really good and bringing things into perspective and stopping a ruminating spiral. I love his real world examples and sense of humor.
Thanks Elrick for everything you have done, it was a pleasure to work with you!
Elrick is a kind and compassionate individual. But is not afraid to tell you how it is either. He is comforting when he needs to be and assertive when he needs to correct your thinking. He has strong conviction when it comes to Christian morals and principles in guiding his therapy sessions, but I would recommend him even if you are not Christian as well.
Great help! Super patient and knowledgeable. Great to talk to or just listen
Elrick is fantastic! I can’t say enough good things about his listening skills, his openness to share and give suggestions to help me.
Elrick was my first therapist and I got pretty lucky. Top notch work. He is able to relate in so many ways. Diligent on helping you along your path. Very great experience and always has a good attitude.
I really enjoyed my sessions with Elrick. He is always full of energy and ready to listen to what I have to say. He has a unique ability to break down situations and help me understand how to set boundaries. I would highly recommend him as a therapist.
Our sessions have helped me become a better person, a better and more productive human. I find myself very optimistic towards life, I’m now better at handling pressure, stress and I’m doing better in my studies. I would highly recommend Elrick Nelson and have him as my therapist much longer.
Elrick is the best; he listens and gives me the tools I need to address what I'm going through. I would 100% recommend him
