Michelle is such a warm and kind soul. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is struggling with their issues. In just a short space of time I feel better just knowing there is someone to listen, unbiasly and objective with an energy that is so radiant. At times it feels like she is providing a hug through the screen. Therapy is something I would have never in a million years signed up for due to my trust issues. However, I am very happy I decided to take the step and to be matched with Michelle. It is with great pleasure and comfort that I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to seek help.

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.
