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.

Therapist is prompt and listens attentively
Donna is great!
She asks thoughtful questions and gives suggestions, a proactive therapist, which is what I was looking for. Her nature is direct and stern, but in a way that I find efficient and helpful. I also enjoy that she can have a laugh with me, even when i'm confessing some of my struggles. It helps me bond.
extremely professional with great expertise
I really felt understood, and I liked the way Donna continued with me
