She is absolutely phenomenal. She has helped me out so much with helping me realize what my issues were and it’s allowed me to explore how it’s affected different areas of my life on my own as well. All of her advice is super helpful and I feel like I can really connect well with her and she’s just really easy and comfortable to talk to. Super grateful and happy I met Diane!!! 10/10 would recommend

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.
