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.

Heather helped me move through a challenging relationship conflict, giving me the confidence to stand up for myself. I highly recommend her!
Heather Koster is one of best therapists I have ever had. She can take the worst situation and find a bright light that helps you want to try harder.
She’s a really good therapist although I’ve only had the luxury of meeting with her once, she seems like she really knows what she’s doing and is very kind and patient. Funny too.
Heather is AMAZING. She has gotten me through the darkest times in my life and is an unwavering support to me. I can tell her anything with zero judgement. She’s the best.
She’s such a gem. Idk if I’d be alive right now without her. Heather, you are incredible and do incredible work. Thank you for blessing my life with your existence.
Heather creates a fantastic space to process the day to day life and tackle challenges in a healthy way. Highly recommend!
Exceptional!

Heather has been a great support system for me!
Amazing!
Heather is wonderful, I’m so thankful for her.
Heather has been a life saver. In just two sessions, she identified red flags in my relationship that I had become numb to (and, therefore, unaware), and gave me guidance on how to remove myself from the situation quickly and safely.
