She is a wonderful listener. Never made me feel rushed to figure out what I wanted and needed to say. She was understanding and helped me to work through how I was feeling and get to the root of the emotions.

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.

Ann is understanding and compassionate but extremely knowledgeable and helpful with all I have expressed and asked for guidance about. She is able to help me sort through my things in a way that I’m able to see for myself. This is imperative for recognizing and changing my own thoughts and behaviors as well as understanding and handling all my close people. Highly recommend Ann.
