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.

Brenda is great! She is attentive, empathetic, and a great lister. She pushes back when you need a reality check but also is kind when you need kind words. Great therapist overall!

Brenda is a great listener, she always remembers key details & has always encouraged me to make my own decisions. I would highly recommend her services, very easy to talk to :)

Reviewed June 2023

It took me going through a few therapist to find the right one and I’m so glad I made the change. She never makes me feel like she’s just along for the ride even when i feel like I’m just venting and she adapts to what’s happening like last weeks problems may not be this weeks issue and It makes a world of difference. It never feels like it’s her way or the highway and it makes it easier for a person like me to tell she’s actually listening because of how often i can get off one thing and on to another. 10/10

Reviewed May 2023

Great therapy, you can do from the comfort of your home. They offer three ways to communicate for your session. During the time your not in session, they offer text chat, groups, and worksheets. These are all are just some of what they offer. It’s a whole new level of support.
