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.

Ericka is so welcoming and so easy to talk :) she is the best!
I really felt comfortable and respected during my session with Erica. She has a great therapeutic affect, and manages to be caring while professional. I also felt that she was listening actively to try to guide me toward improving my own process in a gentle but constructive way.
I’ve really appreciated Ericka. She’s very wise and knowledgeable but I mostly am grateful for how she listens and doesn’t make me feel judged. She’s also very patient. She reminds me a lot of my friend Robin who used to mentor me. I feel like I learn a lot from her and our conversations.
She is great at understanding how I’m feeling and my situation . She works towards understanding and peeling back the layers to best help me move forward with constructive advice.
