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.

Dorothy Lyons is highly engaged with individual needs. Very knowledgeable and respectful. Plus, she goes and beyond! I am deeply grateful for her help and support through some life challenges! Much appreciated!
Dorothy is one of the best therapist, the best thing I like about her she is sooo detailed oriented and would pay attention to everything you said and make a note. She always remember what you have shared with her. I have tried therapy in past too but never felt so connected to someone. She listens your concerns and with her experience guide you with some good coping skills. I like how she always check on my well being. I will recommend her 10/10 to anyone. She is the best :)
