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.

She's a very good therapist.
Very kind, patient friendly therapist
I needed to have someone to talk to who understands and Amanda offers me that.
Although I met with Amanda for only a month, it was well worth each session. She was able to get me to unpack some issues right from the start. I felt, trust, at ease, comfortable, vulnerable and heard. I do plan to return in the future, when my schedule permits.
She is a very good therapist. I have a good rapport with her.
