The only thing I regret about working with Samuel is not finding him sooner. I have multiple issues and he has been able to help me start working through them all. I find the worksheets he sends super helpful. I was so scared of therapy because I knew I would have to feel my feelings ( I've avoided so many) but he has made it less intimidating/overwhelming

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.
