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.

Venessa, thank you so much. For all your time, listening ear and advice. I feel like Venessa really listens to me and cares about my outcome. She reads through every detail i send her and is so focused on listening and giving me solutions whenever we speak. I already feel so much growth from 2 sessions. Thank you so much!
Venessa is excellent! I truly appreciate having her in my corner when I need someone to talk to anytime.

Venessa has been awesome to talk to. She listens and encourages, with a gentle but straightforward approach, which is exactly what I need. I am very grateful to have connected with her to take this next step on my wellness journey!
Venessa listened to my concerns, checked in to see if she understood me, and coached me with wisdom. I felt safe in her hands and would happily work with her again.
I had one session with Venessa and just booked another one. She really helped me and listened to my issue; gave great advice and tools in which I applied to my situation!
