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.

I love my therapist!! I’m so grateful I decided to do this and invest in myself because a positive mindset is priceless! So grateful to my therapist for all of her support!
Holly was a great listener and provided me with some tools to help me navigate my sometimes rocky relationship with an older sibling. She's very laid back and has a great sense of humor which I was very grateful for! I will use her again in the future if need be.
She is so caring and supportive. Very happy talking to her.
