About online counseling

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.

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!

I feel comfortable speaking with her.

Reviewed February 2024

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.

Reviewed February 2024

She's very helpful and listen carefully to my concerns. After only 2 sessions I feel like she shed some lights on my concerns.
