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.

Good therapist
I had seeked therapy elsewhere and felt like after 4 sessions they didn’t understand me or my area of concern. One session with Monica made me change how I thought and feel accepted. She is wonderful and efficient
Great therapist. Natural with her approach. Very knowledgable. Easy to talk to.
