At the beginning of our session, Swiyah sat and just listened to me rant. After a while I got a little worried that maybe she wasn't interested, but just as that happened she hit me with a few questions that nailed my issue dead on its head. Not only can she listen well, but she seems to think it all the way through before responding and then going directly to the heart of the matter. The issue I showed up to therapy for was mostly resolved in one session. Now, my needs in this case were not so very complex, it was work-related, but I'll be coming back to see her for more in-depth and deeper stuff because I feel like I can trust her now. Wonderful lady, very down to earth and real.

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.
