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.

Patricia Karl is a very intuitive therapist, she really emphasizes on open and direct communication. Her personality and approach provides a safe environment to where an individual who has trust issues can lay out all their issues onto the table and receive empathy, support, and constructive feedback. She also incorporates the Bible within her sessions if you’re interested in that, for me it’s making a difference. I recommend giving her a try and also be patient, be genuine, and be yourself.

I am so grateful for the support and guidance I received from Patti. Prior to our sessions, I was experiencing PTSD symptoms and constant worry that impacted my daily life. Patti provided a safe environment that made it possible for me to confront and process my past. Patti’s intelligence and expertise were evident from the start. She was able to break down why my body was reacting the way it did to certain triggers, which helped me to better understand my brain and emotions. This deeper understanding was crucial in my journey and allowed me to work towards effective solutions. Since meeting with Patti, I have made incredible strides in my mental health journey. My PTSD symptoms are virtually gone and I have felt more peace in my life than ever. Her patience, dedication, and genuine care have been instrumental in my improvement. I cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and empathetic therapist to help navigate PTSD, anxiety, and worry, as well as plenty of other issues. She’s made a huge and lasting difference in my life.
