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.

Phenomenal therapist!
I have only been seeing Lucinda for a few weeks now, but I have found her to be more beneficial than the years I had been with other therapists! She has excellent listening skills, and she listens between the lines. She has a way of walking me into an idea so that I feel like it was my own realization. She is wonderful and an amazing therapist!
