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.

Sharon is a personable, professional and skilled therapist. Having experienced the opposite in the past, she is a breath of fresh air.

Reviewed July 2024

I started seeing Sharon while I was in a difficult place, and she did an amazing job reading and reacting to me. I have found her very genuinely personable in that she shares with me as much as I do with her (I am also an Adam Ant fan). Sharon has listened to me. Beyond this review, I have spoken positively to friends in my life and I really, really appreciate her style of communication and her professionalism.
