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.

Patricia Karl is the best! She is very attentive and a great active listener. She is wonderful!!!
She is awesome !
Patricia is amazing! She has helped me tremendously!
Patricia Karl is a very intuitive therapist, she really emphasizes on open and direct communication. Her personality and approach provides a safe environment to where an individual who has trust issues can lay out all their issues onto the table and receive empathy, support, and constructive feedback. She also incorporates the Bible within her sessions if you’re interested in that, for me it’s making a difference. I recommend giving her a try and also be patient, be genuine, and be yourself.
Patricia makes me feel comfortable and seen on each of our calls. She responds to my messages with in-depth answers to help me understand my feelings.
Ms. Karl has been fantastic in helping me reorient some of the negative and depressing thoughts with simple and logical statements. She listens and has been fantastic for me!
Patricia has been an incredible support. She creates a safe, non-judgmental space to share openly and offers practical advice that has truly helped me navigate personal and professional challenges. Her compassionate approach and insightful guidance have made a real difference in my life. Highly recommend!
Very kind and always listens to me.
Patrica is the best with her insight, support, compassion and expertise!
I was sceptical to online therapy but Patricia has made it very comfortable and I enjoy speaking with her. The time goes by fast as I do have a lot to unload on her. But again, She handles it Very Well. I was only going to do this for a month trial but I feel I may be chatting with her longer. Thanks Patricia..
Help turn my life around, fully trust her.

Highly recommend Therapist Patricia Karl, feel like her sessions are extremely organized and she focuses on what you need. Each session I feel like I’ve learned something about myself and how to better improve.
Patricia helped me during a bad time in my depression and helped me move forward and reach a healthy state
Patricia has been there for me, and responds to my questions, or anything else I need help with. Better help has been my light in the darkness. I appreciate everything Patricia has done to help me during the darkest time of my life.
I am so grateful for the support and guidance I received from Patti. Prior to our sessions, I was experiencing PTSD symptoms and constant worry that impacted my daily life. Patti provided a safe environment that made it possible for me to confront and process my past. Patti’s intelligence and expertise were evident from the start. She was able to break down why my body was reacting the way it did to certain triggers, which helped me to better understand my brain and emotions. This deeper understanding was crucial in my journey and allowed me to work towards effective solutions. Since meeting with Patti, I have made incredible strides in my mental health journey. My PTSD symptoms are virtually gone and I have felt more peace in my life than ever. Her patience, dedication, and genuine care have been instrumental in my improvement. I cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and empathetic therapist to help navigate PTSD, anxiety, and worry, as well as plenty of other issues. She’s made a huge and lasting difference in my life.
I like Patricia a lot. I feel heard by her. She listens to me, even when I drone on for 45-minutes!
She is excellent!!
Patricia has helped me so much. She is patient, she listens, and she is quick to understand my concerns. She gives me tools and challenges me with tasks that assist in my healing and recovery. She is amazing, and incredibly knowledgeable!

Patricia is amazing! She understands my goals with therapy and understands what I need at the moment. She is a great listener and gives me things to think about in ways I have not before. I highly recommend her.
Patricia is very helpful and I’ve grown a lot emotionally since talking with her weekly. She holds me accountable and knows when to push me a bit. I’ve been very happy with her counsel sessions!
I was very lucky to have Patricia as my therapist. She was kind, compassionate and easy to speak with. She is something special. She has helped me on my journey and I am grateful. You can tell she is a genuine person and always looks to help you identity the things you could change and turn around to see in a more positive light.
Amazing therapist who was godsend
Patricia is always there when I need to talk no questions asked
A true asset to BH.
Patricia gave me a perspective of my complex relationship that gave me new vision and confidence.
Patricia has helped me a lot in the time I've worked with her. She is knowledgeable and understanding. She provides tools to help you process the situations you are seeking assistance with. She has gone out of her way to help me during a time of crisis. Definitely recommend.
Patricia has been my therapist for many months now, and I find speaking with her to be very helpful in overcoming my issues
Patricia has been really amazing and has helped me in so many ways. I am grateful that she’s my therapist!
I found Ms Pat sensitive and knowledgeable. I valued her input and responses to my situation. She gave me more confidence in her by identifying issues in a clinical way so I could follow causes and responsibilities and become better in my self care
Patricia knows the right questions to ask and “homework” to keep me focused between sessions, and I appreciate that she is patient with letting me do as much talking as I need to before chiming in. I’ve felt safe with her and that’s saying a lot.
Patricia is so kind. I highly recommend her for anyone struggling with anxiety, depression, or panic attacks. I left every session feeling at peace, heard, understood and encouraged.
Patti has a gift and is great to work with! I highly recommend her
Patricia is blessed with abundant wisdom, compassion, and understanding. I am deeply grateful for her insights and guidance.
She was very attentive and resourceful. Would send link to videos that she felt helped to better explain some topics that they felt would me. She knew what she was talking about and really helped me get through some issues.
Patricia is a wonderful therapist very understanding and gives you a lot of useful information to use for bettering yourself
She’s a hard one. I’ve done therapy, read self help books, self deprivation tank, practiced meditation. She is the ULTIMATE devil’s advocate. She not only hears you, but gives you resources to elevate your healing journey. Take her with a grain of salt, listen to yourself and DO YOUR HOMEWORK. You’ll see great success when you really hear what she’s got to say.
Patti is such a caring therapist, she has helped me through my husband’s cancer, mom’s dementia, my dads death and dealing with my complex sister relationship. She has a very supportive system and offers advice gingerly. She has been a blessing to say the least!
Patricia was a perfect match for me and I felt seen and heard immediately during our first session. So happy I found this app. It’s made seeking and following through with therapy actually attainable!
Patty not only makes me feel safe to express myself in any way, but is an excellent listener. She offers very useful tactics to implement into my relationship, and I’ve seen positive results since working with her, plus my anxiety level is always lowered after speaking with her. Highly recommend.
Patricia Karl has my best interests when talking to me. She's very kind and helpful. From the start, I was comfortable with opening to her.

I appreciate her so much and can’t wait to grow within myself because of her.
Patricia was excellent and getting right to the crux of my issues. She is direct but kind. She is insightful and wise.
