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.

Attentive and great listener
Knowledgeable
Just had my first voice session. It was great, she was very welcoming and understanding. Definitely made me want to continue sessions with her and I’ve already scheduled my next. She also gave a lot of suggestions for what I can do to help and further repair my current situation despite this being our first meeting. 9/10 would recommend.
Jonnet is an active listener and is skillful at guiding our conversation to fit my needs and interests
We are perfectly matched, super grateful for her. I love that she's native to Hawaii and able to help me understand the culture and I just feel her love- in the most professional way!
This is the first therapist I have truly felt comfortable with. Explaining my past experiences and relationships is difficult and not having someone you trust makes it even more so, grateful that I can trust Jonnet.
Jonnet has been an excellent therapist. Being considerate of my thoughts and feelings as well as helping and guiding me through personal issues and life struggles. Her ability to understand, relate, and process everything I have discussed with her has helped me so much. She is an excellent therapist!
I am so grateful for the presence Jonnet has when we meet. I feel heard and understood. She helps me process in a deep way so I always feel lighter when the session is complete.
