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.

Wade is the best! He’s professional and creates a comfortable environment that feels safe and allows me to be open! He is very knowledgeable and does a great job at educating the way emotions and the brain work in order to better understand how things I do and feel correlate and leads that perfectly into coping mechanisms and solutions that are doable and helpful.
