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.

Overall rating:
Professional and kind
Timothy is understanding, open, and kind. He invites the patient to open his heart and is accommodating.
Tim is amazing, very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. I highly recommend him.
Tim has been great, I’ve enjoyed our sessions and look forward to more
Tim helps me through serious problems
Tim is listening intently while I try to unpackage years of background context. It’s a slow role and I’m doing most of the talking out of necessity but Tim contributes where he can and I hope the convos will eventually lean more towards him helping me with tactical actions. Right now it’s understandable he can get help from a broader strategic level of how to think without much specificity to my personal journey
Mr. Smith is a great therapist after a couple of sessions I felt a weight was lifted off of my shoulders and I could continue my daily tasks with very little stress and anxiety.
An amazing therapist
Tim was there to listen when I was at my worst. We have lots of work to do and I believe he will help. I appreciate him!
