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.

Karen is the best. I have made more progress than I ever thought possible in the last six months. So grateful to have been matched with her.
Karen is amazing at understanding and getting me to open up deeper about the circumstances I am facing. She helped me in understanding my actions, the good and bad effects they were having on me. The compassion she showed to me helped me realize I could have that same for myself. Great to talk to and get a useful strategy for different situations in life. Would definitely recommend her!
Ms. Karen has offered me a total reevaluation on my perspective of things and was able to help me in many ways. Apart from helping me heal things that have effected me deeply, she has also made me self-aware in my real life choices about how much change I can make on my own, with her guidance and direction. Knowledgeable, kind, and respectful of the many subjects we discussed. So thankful for her services!
