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.

She was the perfect match for me. She is smart, funny, and absolutely helpful in so many ways
First time seeking help at 49.. a lot to unpack. She's been very patient, welcoming and comforting already, just two sessions in. Feel like we are headed down a good road!
Absolutely fantastic
She is an awesome fit for my issues. I appreciate her greatly!
Salena is a great listener pauses and allows you to speak your truth. She is always attentive to body language as well. I highly recommend her as a therapist to anyone who just wants someone to listen when you're going through hardships. She is one of the best counselors I've had.
Very good listener and wise
Selena is very kind and gentle. I actually didn't really like at first how it felt I was the one controlling the convo a bit but I realized I really needed that. I needed to feel heard, like I didn't need to fight for someone's attention. The conversations with her flow so smoothly idk I like her
Salena has truly helped me see myself in a different light while addressing issues I actively face. She really listens and responds with her expertise, and her care is genuine and true. She is my first experience with counseling and she made me feel heard and comfortable. I would recommend her to anyone looking to explore counseling and address their personal growth and any roadblocks they may be facing.
Wonderful, thoughtful, compassionate, patient! She is literally amazing and I love our talks.
I have only had 3 sessions with Salena, but every visit has left me with a-ha moments! And from those, I know will come growth! Happy to have found her!
very caring and calm and good advice
