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.

Patricia is great! From our first session, I knew she was going to be a good fit for my needs. She shares her own stories, which makes me feel more comfortable about sharing my stories. She is interactive and likes to be involved / receive updates in between sessions, which is nice. I highly recommend her!
Patricia is Amazing very polite and respectful, I love that she treats me more like a friend than a client, I highly recommend her she’s the best!!!

I only had two session with Patricia but she was very personable and a great listener. She is a straight shooter which I really appreciate, and helped point me in the direction of couple's therapy.
Professional and very patient. She helps me a lot.
Patricia has been the best to meet with and has been consistently helping me since our first session. I plan to continue meeting with her continuously and I would recommend her to anyone.
I had an instant connection with Patricia. She is the best therapist for me because she listens, she responds quickly when I have questions and she cares and it’s very evident that she cares for her patients. So glad I was matched with her.
Patricia is honest and is attention to detail for things that I couldn’t see or admit to myself. She makes me feel comfortable with her friendly persona and reassurance of a safe space.
Patricia seems very mellow, knowledgeable, caring and all around a good person. I really enjoyed her help trying to get my mother-in-law feeling a bit better about herself. I would definitely recommend her and will definitely recommend this platform better help to most anyone that’s looking for talk therapy. Thank you
I Love her. She is super nice and outgoing person. She is always trying to help. To be honest I have a lot of good and positive feedback to her as a person because she treat you like a friend more like a patient. A very kind person. La puedo recomendar por seguro. Es muy sonriente y todo lo toma con una buena actitud. Siempre ayudando y en todo momento.
