Dr. Russell is a really wonderful therapist. She really takes the time to listen, but asks very insightful questions that seem to really get to the heart of the issue. Her insights gave me some tangible areas to work on, and she has new perspectives I hadn't considered before that really helped me out. I'd highly recommend Dr. Russell for anyone who's looking for a compassionate, skilled, and experienced therapist.

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.

Dr. Russell is a great listener, she can read into what I'm saying and help me make sense of what I am going through, even though I don't understand some of my issues myself. Her capacity to center me on the most pressing issue helps filter the noise in my life so that I can focus on what matters the most and tqke the proper steps on the path to improving my life.
