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.

Overall rating:
She’s amazing and listens very well, makes the environment super comfortable!
Leigh Ann is intuitive and supportive. She has helped me successfully navigate a number of challenging family and work related issues!
My therapist and I have covered much ground in a short time. I’m thankful for her expertise and resources she’s providing. It’s been an encouraging and enlightening experience so far.
I have had a very productive relationship with my therapist. We started out facing a major life issue, and have continued to evolve into many other areas. It feels more like a monthly chat with a friend than therapy and for me that has proven to be more successful.
Leigh Ann is a caring, knowledgeable and professional therapist! She has played a significant role in helping me successfully navigate some really unpleasant life experiences. She is also providing me with the tools I need to forge a happy future. I would highly recommend her!
I really enjoy talking with her. She has shown me different approaches to things that have helped me. Talking with her makes me feel better.
I’m always referring her to people because she’s the best. She introduces me to many tools I’m able to practice and she bring thoughtful points to each session

She is an excellent therapist. I enjoy my weekly calls with her. She always me to be myself and listens without judgment. She sends me worksheets which I enjoy and teaches me coping techniques I’ve never used before. Truly grateful for her help.
Leigh Ann has been relatable and understanding in our work together. I feel like she understands what I am focused on and is willing to help me work toward that in a way that feels realistic and honest. It has been an overall positive experience thus far.
Leigh is so empathic, straightforward in the most professional way, pays attention to every little detail, and supports you in the way every therapist SHOULD support you. She’s like a blunt, extremely honest and knowledgeable best friend that we all need…. Paying for her service is the best thing I have ever done!
