Excellent therapist!

Reviewed January 2022

I wasn’t really sure what I needed, but I knew I needed something. David has helped me make huge improvements to my mental health. He provides the most relaxed environment with his personable attitude. David constantly offers insight and new research for the topics we are discussing and always makes me feel safe saying whatever I want. No matter how silly I feel, he always has a great reaction, making it easier and easier to discuss even the hardest of topics.

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 wasn’t really sure if I was ever going to receive the outlet I felt I needed, but even after a short period with David Spellman, I truly feel I finally found it. He offers insight and converses with me while giving me all the time and space I need to say what I need to say. I never felt so hopeful.

Reviewed July 2021

After only 2 visits with David Spellman, I am already impressed. He asks such thought provoking questions. He is helping me look at situations differently. I'm not sure how long I'll be able to afford this service, but I think it is helping!
