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.

Katherine is literally one of the best people I have talked to. I’ve always had a problem sharing information with people in fear of being judged, but she just naturally gives off the aura of being the most nonjudgmental person. Would definitely recommend Katherine to anyone who has a hard time opening up to people.

Katherine has been great. She has listened to my concerns and supported me. She has brought up things that I already have thought about and know, however, she has done it in a way that it has allowed those thoughts to sink in. Some have been tough to hear, but it has allowed me to grow and better deal with my situation.
