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.

Overall rating:
Thank you Dr. Lisa for providing me with assistance & instilling confidence within me to make empowered choices in my life & being able to adapt to change much better than before. I highly recommend Dr. Lisa as she makes her clients feel heard & understood.
Dr. Cooney is an outstanding therapist, with compassionate and helpful methods. She is an excellent resource for anyone who is in need of help and also great support for addiction recovery.
Dr. Lisa was a very good match for what I was looking for an for what I need in a therapist. She challenges me when I need to be challenged, listens when I need a listener, and checks in with me between sessions to make sure I am making progress. I also get the impression she has customized her approach to our sessions based on my individual needs, which gives me confidence in her abilities and helps me trust her advice.
Dr. Cooney is very attentive and provides the therapy format that matched my expectations of how therapy would need to be structured to find value in it. She listened to my desired outcomes, and the things that have worked for me in the past, and modified her approach to our sessions to fit those requests. She follows up between our sessions every now and then to check in and I find that to be going above and beyond considering how many patients she must see. She has also modified her schedule to fit me in when I had a conflict come up a few days before our scheduled session and was able to get it rescheduled quickly so I didn't fall behind in my progress. Overall, I would highly recommend Dr. Cooney for her combination of professionalism/personalization, and her clear expertise in the subject matters I have wanted to discuss.
A true professional offering actual solutions.
Dr. Lisa (as she is more commonly called) is a gifted therapist healer / practitioner who truly has the ability to channel exactly what is needed for each of her clients, whether it's traditional talk therapy or something off the beaten path. She is an excellent listener, empathetic, intuitive and sympathetic. She feels things with you. She works to understand.
Extremely kind and helpful.
Dr Lisa Cooney helped we work through two different personal issues. She is very respectful, asks the right questions and refers to the information I previously shared so that all her questions and comments are relevant.
Dr Cooney is one of the most insightful, intuitive, gifted and empathetic therapists I've EVER worked with!
