I’m very excited to be working with Uzma. I’ve made big progress in working with her in a short time. She’s very informative, teaching me new things that I didn’t know. She’s patient, takes her time explaining things and wants to make sure you understand. She’s very supportive and encourages you too. I’m very glad I found her and get to work with her.

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.
