I feel like he understands and listens to everything being said. I struggle with a few things in life that made me feel like there wasn’t a light at the end of the tunnel but since I have started therapy and attended these sessions I have noticed a difference in myself just from the few sessions we have had. He’s a great listener and help you better understand what you’re going through and helps better understand yourself.

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.
