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.

He is a great guy with great understanding
Dr. Douglas Mings is a great and knowledgeable therapist. He is super supportive and has many years of experience and advice on a variety of topics.
Amazing therapist takes the time out to listen understand his patients and really comes up with various ways for them to navigate through there issues in life and make a way to better themselves with there personal interest and and spiritual interest.
Doug is very level headed and very down to earth in his approach. He doesn’t talk at you, but with you. Doug’s guidance and suggestions on how to keep my mind focused in the present is outstanding, and I am thankful for his help and support.
I have had more than a dozen sessions with Doug Mings. What a special man. He is full of knowledge, experience, kindness and a sprinkle of wisdom. He listens intently, repeats things back for clarity and even asks me to “push back” if I don’t think he is fully understanding where am coming from. That intentional engagement makes him an absolute five star therapist. (Would give more if I could)!
Since I’ve been communicating with Douglas Mings he’s helped me with several things in my life and he’s helped me discover things about myself that I didn’t have any knowledge of. He’s always professional and he has things in common with me that helps me be able to relate to him.
Doug has been an amazing guide through a difficult situation that I’m being faced with. I always leave the sessions we have with a sense of direction and some great tips on what to do moving forward. He’s great!
Doug is so kind and understanding! He gives great practical advice and really gets to the heart of the matter! He listens and responds with great care and knowledge!
Doug has introduced nothing but helpful, comforting advice. Any time him and I talk over each other, it is an absolutely kind exchange, and he usually allows me to say what I wanted to. A very kind and supportive soul. He has listened to my deep problems and provided real assistance
Doug is a tremendous person to discuss nearly everything you have on your plate that may bring about anxieties or concerns. As a man who tries to swallow his pride, Doug has broken down these barriers, allowing me to feel completely comfortable and have confidence that he will help me through my troubles. Thanks Doug!
I absolutely love Doug! He listens to everything I have to say, my goals, gives me great ideas, things to work on. I highly recommend him!
I’m thrilled with our visits.
Doug has been receptive and extremely easy to talk to. He has offered great feedback on our discussions. I was new to this whole process and he has made me feel completely at ease. I would highly recommend him.
He is the best.
I’m just our first session, Doug gave me so many helpful tools and resources. I am grateful for being paired with him and look forward to learning more from him as we go through this journey!
I have seen several other therapists before Doug, but Doug is the first person that I feel confident in saying that actually listens and helps you become a better person. I have no reservations in recommending him. He is a really good person.
Doug is a great therapist and he knows what he’s talking about. He is kind, gentle, and patient. It has been fun learning more about mental health and how my past has influenced where I am presently with Douglas. It has been even more fun practicing the tips and tools to grow and heal. Thank you Douglas!
Douglas Mings is understanding, non-judgemental, and gives me action oriented strategies to help me move past my anxiety and depression. He's very easy to talk to and I feel like I can be open and honest with him. He's been a therapist for longer than I have been alive so I know he also has seen a lot of situations and has the experience to help a variety of people. He finds time to check in on patients once a week or so - to me that was so unexpected and thoughtful of him. I would definitely recommend Douglas Mings to anyone.
