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.

Melissa is great!
I am only two sessions in with Melissa, but already I feel so much more seen, heard and supported than the other therapist I was matched with. I specifically chose her due to her expertise and her kind personality as I move through some tougher issues. I’m so excited to continue to work with Melissa! I would highly recommend her.
