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.

Great personality and listener
It has been the most amazing experience. I could never have hoped that having a therapist would help me so much. I appreciate the way she work, her mannerisms and the way she treats me. I feel we have an open and honest dialogue. She has helped me see my way through what was a very dark time.
Kind and informative, Devorah also has great insight that is specific to what I’m talking about. Thank you!
Devorah is compassionate and wise. She listens to me patiently and offers helpful insights and suggestions.

Her experience in life is very helpful for me and we are able to exchange ideas and thoughts easily. I am very happy with Devorah and all she has done for me.
