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.

Sharmian is amazing, insightful, competent, and kind. She has made an incredible impact on my life. I would recommend her expertise to anyone.
I haven’t never felt more welcomed and heard from a therapist. Sharmian makes me feel so comfortable in sharing whatever I need with her.
Sharmian has been my saving grace. She is everything and more that I have needed. She has exceeded my expectations with therapy by a knock out! I am forever thankful for this app and finding her for me.
She is great. She offers encouragement, encourages me to push past my comfort zone to accomplish goals, but never past what I'm truly ready to do. She listens and offers great feedback. Time truly flies by, but I always come away feeling...better. Thankful for her and this experience. I just knew I'd be canceling after my trial period when I signed up, but that's over this week and I have zero intentions of canceling any time in the near future!
Love her! Does a great job at understanding and listening
