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.

With the little time that I've had with Erica I've grown to see that she is an amazing therapist. She's always ready to receive me, she answers in the timely manner but she's also very knowledgeable with the situations that I've dealt with in the past. I would definitely recommend her to any friend or colleagues who need help.

I took a couple of years to finally talk with someone, and when the time came, Erica made this so much easier than i thought it would be. She’s so professional, easygoing and know exactly how to work with people. Now I even look forward to my therapy sessions. I really believe that will change my life.

I start working with Erica about a month ago. She's always made me feel really comfortable. She listens with an open mind and really tries to understand what I'm going through. I've gotten a few "homework" assignments and I've really enjoyed them - it helps keep me accountable in the times when we cannot meet. She gives me practical, honest and supportive guidance, so that I can go out into my life confidently.
