Francisco has been great and above and beyond helpful. He set the expectations and the way he wanted to work since the beginning, he always listens and communicates really clearly, he does not overwhelm you with topics or tools to work and he truly makes you feel heard. I can’t recommend him enough specially on anger management and big changes in life.

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.
