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:
She is amazing very honest and understanding. Easy to talk to.
I have not had great experiences with therapy before I met Miss Stanford but this experience has been wonderful and I am truly grateful to have been matched with her.
I was extremely impressed and was able to breathe a small sigh of relief after my first conversation with Lisa. She explained things well, asked what seemed to me to be the right questions and even had me think of how I can be better in the situation we were discussing. I thought it was going to be hard to find a therapist that understood me and while it is still early for us, I think she's going to be very helpful in my progress and growth.
