I have never used therapy before, she was very welcoming and really listens to all my concerns. I couldn't say a bad thing about her and I could write reams and reams about how supportive and affirming she is, but I'd probably say her dedication to making sure that I feel better and take care of myself after a session is such an amazing consideration on her part. :)

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.
