Joanne is amazing. I was very specific on finding a Christian therapist because us Christians get each other on another level. She definitely made me feel super comfortable from the get go. She wasn’t judgmental at all. Spoke her mind and even emphasized some personal experience to help me understand and comprehend things better. Grateful that I got paired with her.

I have had only one session but she seems on point so far. What most individuals don't understand if they have not had this type of therapy is that answers are sometimes difficult to obtain. Joanne so far doesn't parade herself as a solution machine but she seems to provide tools needed for me. That is by far more important than anything roght now.

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.
