About online counseling

Affordable.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Nicholas is incredibly insightful and great at trying to bring you out of your conscious mind into the unconscious to get to the core issues manifesting in daily struggles. He respects your knowledge about yourself and therapeutic approaches while also stretching you in a healthy way. I always find our sessions to being about profound food for thought beyond any specific problem I've brought to session.
