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.

So far I have enjoyed the session we have had and he has been a large help in such a short time

Reviewed November 2022

Active listener who intelligently responds in a way that challenges and supports the conversation. I like that he will not always agree and give credit where it is due, even when it seems difficult to grasp. There is a calm wisdom in the rapport he builds where there is zero judgment, even when you may feel like you’ve come undone. His decades of experience are clear.
