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.

Dr Ferrin is great! He really listens and tries to provide strategies and techniques to help manage anxiety for me. I really enjoy my talk therapy with Dr Ferrin
Dr. Ferrin is very intelligent and understanding. He listens, adds valuable input, urges me, and asks questions. We are able to work together to talk through my issues. It has been great being able to find a therapist who matches my energy and I am able to collaborate with.
Only one session and I already feel like I’m being helped! Dr. Ferrin is professional yet personable; focused yet exploratory. A good balance to be flexible and meet the patients where there at, so that he can coach them on where they should go. Highly recommend Dr. Ferrin!
