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.

Very well educated and speaks with great knowledge
Caring and supporting of your concerns.
Michelle North is a positive force in helping guide me through this unfamiliar territory. She has been nothing but professional, compassionate, and helpful with her knowledge and tools she helps teach. She is fantastic and I'm grateful for her.
Michelle is great. She is attentive and a great listener!
Michelle is the best. I am so grateful to have her as my therapist. She truly cares and looks out for me in all areas of life. I don't know what I would do without her support!
Michelle has been a wonderful tool in helping me get through this transition in my life. She is a good listener with helpful feedback. She has a warm, relaxed approach that is friendly & professional. I have felt her support in between sessions when she has messaged suggesting classes etc.
Great
I love her willingness to listen to me. I feel like I’m being heard and she helps me with diving deeper into my thoughts. As well as coming up with practical solutions to problems I may be having. She helps ground me back into reality and something I really appreciate is that she helps me with being on the same page from within myself. Thank you Michelle!
She is very thoughtful and genuine. She has a lot of expertise in her field “. I look forward to seeing where this goes
I feel comfortable speaking with her.
Although I have been "seeing" Michelle for approximately a month, she has identified areas of my mental health to be targeted and provided tools to help me navigate through the stressors in my life. Primarily helping me to see the value of good memories vs painful memories. I look forward to continue working with her.
She's very helpful and listen carefully to my concerns. After only 2 sessions I feel like she shed some lights on my concerns.
