Phil is very easy to talk to. I feel supported and understood, not judged, when we communicate. He is patient with me and I’ve learned a lot from him so far that has helped me. I attribute me sticking with the program for this long to his encouraging and motivational kind of therapy. Overall I’m very happy with the quality of care he provides.

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.
