Nicole Saunders made me feel at ease right away. She made it easy for me to be honest about my feelings and what I’m struggling with. I would definitely recommend her to anyone that needs someone to listen with empathy while withholding any judgement.

I am licensed mental health counselor in Florida with over 20 years of mental health experience. I have mental health experience working in Florida and Pennsylvania. I have experience assisting clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, transitioning out of the military, trauma, and abuse. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

About online counseling

Affordable.

Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.

There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
