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.

Welcoming, approachable, knowledgeable. Clear about the parameters of the conversation. I feel safe discussing things with Barbara. That is actually a pretty remarkable achievement in a cyber environment.
Barbara treats her clients with respect, and does not come across as a "one method"-therapist.
I'm so grateful for my sessions with Barbara each week. She both challenges and supports me, through good times and more challenging times. Having her advice each week has helped me in so many ways that it's hard to sum it up in one short review. If you're considering therapy with her, give her a chance because it's ultimately an investment in yourself.
Barbara really took the time to understand the issues I was facing, helping me to look at all sides of the circumstances which allowed me to navigate what has been an extremely challenging time. I am very thankful for Barbara's expertise, guidance and experience.
So far my experience with Betsy has been wonderful. This is my first time trying therapy and she has really helped me organize my thoughts and emotions to begin healing my past wounds. I really enjoy talking with her weekly and I am looking forward to our continued relationship.
Barbara allowed me to get everything off my chest and gave great advice to the problems, with her sessions I feel much stronger and better, I highly recommend.
Barbara is attentive and compassionate. She's a great listener and has helpful suggestions for me.
