I am licensed in the State of Florida with 24 years of professional work experience. I believe that you are the main character, and expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. However, within that story we may benefit from the eyes of a non-involved reviewer. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started! As the poet Robert wrote: "Two roads diverged in a woo and I, I took the one less travelled by, that has made all the difference." Let's start your journey.

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.
