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.

Reviewed December 2023

I have always been skeptical of therapy, and believed I could work through issues on my own. In only one discussion, first time meeting Bryan, he was quickly able to zero in on the exact underlying issues. He genuinely cares about, providing a safe, trusting space, and helping his clients be the best version of themselves.

I highly recommend Bryan as a therapist. His compassionate and attentive approach to therapy creates a safe and supportive environment for clients. Brian's deep understanding of psychological issues and effective communication skills make him an excellent choice for anyone seeking therapeutic support. I have personally benefited greatly from his expertise, and I'm confident you will too.

Reviewed September 2023

Bryan helped me to identify and correct behaviors that weren't serving me or my relationships with other people. He taught me new coping mechanisms, ways of changing my own behavior to influence my relationships in positive ways, and helped me see areas where I could (and did) improve. He is a patient and empathetic listener and seemed to really understand the root of the issues I was dealing with. It is always a pleasure to talk with him; he is professional and kind, and made me feel comfortable sharing things I don’t talk about with other people. I would absolutely recommend Bryan to others seeking therapy.

Bryan has been very respectful and responsive with my concerns. He is kind , listens, and offers helpful feedback, as well as constructive ways of viewing issues I bring up. I appreciate his tact and professionalism.

Reviewed June 2023

Bryan listens and allowed for a chance to just vent. He expressed his sincerest concern while acknowledging many of my past as difficult. What stood out the most is his empathetic sentiments to some injustices by letting me know “I’m not responsible nor accountable for how some people treated me in those difficult times.” He has worked off this philosophy he has set for me and often uses the word “invite” to gauge my reflection to the situation and practice good measures to work through some of these matters patiently and 1 at a time.

Reviewed May 2023
