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.

Mr. Ashok Parmar is very personable. He is kind, understanding, attentive, helpful, and brings a variety of insight and perspective that can easily be applied to my daily practices and mindset in achieving my goals. He’s intelligent and uses so many resources to help me better understand the world around me and myself. One of the absolute best experiences I have had and I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a motivator and someone who can politely hold you accountable in following through on your goals. Outside of being a wonderful therapist he is a genuine human and I am so thankful I was paired with him to receive his guidance and reassurance in any topic we speak on.
