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.

Michael was a great therapist for me. He was great at listening, understanding my problems, and giving me positive ways to rise above my insecurities and anxiety.
I enjoy the new prospective and the ability to tell it as it is and not have a biased opinion
Very professional and experienced. Very kind and understanding. Knowledgeable on how to deal and manage stress, anxiety, grief, and depression. I’ve been with him for 3-4 sessions and he checks in between sessions. I currently have no need for therapy at the moment because he has helped reached where I wanted be. He has taught me a lot in from those sessions. Honestly, I needed someone professional to talk to and I was glad Michael was that person who was there to hear my story. If I were to come back, I would gladly have Michael back as my therapist.
Very nice very professional and invested in providing tools to help with my personal growth.
