Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

I would highly recommend Charmayne Bowens. She's very helpful and understanding
I've only had a few sessions with Charmayne but I love how available she is. I'm a first time mom with a five month old; my schedule is chaos. Charmayne has a flexible schedule that meets my needs. She also is very present in our video sessions and helps me with my journaling. She offers insights that I can't see for myself. With Charmayne, I feel like I'm able to progress at a faster pace than with other therapists.
