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.

All around great guy. Very insightful, very thoughtful, easy going and even easier to talk to. If anyone is struggling with anything, I HIGHLY recommend Jerry Mermis.
Jerry is a pleasure to work with. He clearly expresses how he can help, where he cannot, and what expectations should be going into the process. He always checks to make sure I am getting what I need from his service.
Wow, what a kind and insightful man, just what I needed at this low point. He’s been through it so I trust his perspective
