Kara is a great listener and great at offering solutions but at the same never pushing them in a way. She's present, open, and engaging.

Reviewed April 2024

Kara was kind and personable. She listened and let me explain what was going on that I needed to work through. She offered “pearls of wisdom” and great advice.

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.
