Kristen is truly a wonderful therapist and makes the idea of therapy a lot less scary. She’s understanding, patient, and gives me individualized ways to help with my problems that work for me. She’s flexible with scheduling and always able to squeeze me in as needed. I’m very grateful I chose Kristen as my therapist and enjoy her professional input but also her outgoing personality.

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.
