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.

Shawn has been at this a long time and his professionalism shows with every conversation.

Reviewed May 2023

I am impressed with the overall program, but so far in my initial stages, Shawn has eased my anxiety about the overall process and has already pointed out a few underlying things that can be a contributing factor in my challenges. His experience and thoughtfulness I know will help me with my future.
