Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Dr Acosta gas been great.
She communicates with me whenever one session is running behind. She also listens so well to me and offers great help. Sometimes she’ll bring up stuff i said and I’m surprised she remembers it. She’s helping me go through one of the hardest times in my life, without her I’d be lost.
