I’m very much new to therapy and I had some major reservations. Janea is amazing, the sessions feel like I’m chatting with my favorite cousin who came into town to visit. She listens to everything I say and acknowledges the things that I don’t really say. I admire how direct she is. Doesn’t leave much room for me to manipulate the conversations.

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.
