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.

John is the best. He’s done a lot for me and I don’t think I could’ve done it without him
John is a genuine and non-judgmental therapist! He provides me with good advice and coping skills to address situations. Easy to talk to too!
John is great. He takes me at my own pace. Our discussions are very enlightening as we discuss issues that I experience and provides me resources that help me learn about ways to cope. He's calm and very patient.
John knows how to give you the floor to express everything you need to. He gives great advice and tends to your exact problem. He also assigns material that hasn’t crossed your mind yet which are perfect solutions. He’s great for keeping it simple and clean and keeps your biggest concerns a priority. My first session with him felt like we were many sessions in already, I’d highly recommend him
Working with John has been a pleasure. He is very down to earth and very knowledgeable. 10/10 would highly recommend

John Brooks is an amazing human being. I am so grateful to have crossed paths with him. His compassion, expertise, patience and wisdom has helped me navigate through some very difficult struggles of my life. John is more than a therapist, he is a gentle wise soul with a big heart.
He helped me get through stuff
Great listener that provides great help for difficult situations
He's absolutely wonderful! He listens, he responds, he's extremely easy to talk to and get along with. He gives great advice that's easy to digest and understand! Thanks to John I am on the path to being a healthier, happier version of myself and I couldn't thank him enough!
John Brooks is the best. He keeps it honest, and supports choices. He also provides material he thinks would help the client and has a great sense of light humour when needed - which I appreciate in “heavy” times. John is professional, punctual and cares. I’ve gone through about 50 therapists between ages 8 and adulthood. John is the only one I keep wanting to go back to. Super based and has good wisdom and all of this was evident after the first session. 100% recommended.
John is caring and listens and provides great tools to have in your tool kit when it comes to a vast array of family, relationships, friendships, and self help work.
John is a really cool guy, an excellent human and listener. He gives me tips that are straight to the point and may seem so simple but they are so effective. He listens and I can tell he wants to help and is present for everything and anything I have to say. He is not pushy but offers so many options and things to try out which also gives me hope there are many ways to get better and I didn't just try and already fail at everything. Thank you, John. I appreciate you a lot and feel lucky to have been matched with you.
