My ideal client is someone who is diagnosed with anxiety disorder. These symptoms develop in childhood and are still present through adulthood if not treated. Their needs are to face their fears with the support of their therapist. By trying to remain calm, without becoming overly anxious or having a panic attack. My goal as their therapist is to help them build their self- confidence so they can control their fears and feel secure with themselves. As we continue to work together we will practice remaining calm and partaking in the practice of breathing techniques. As your therapist I encourage you to share their feelings, fears, and what things specifically are causing you to stress. My speciality is to help the client understand that their feelings are out of proportion and to help them not have negative persistent thoughts. I build empathy with my clients by explaining that they are not alone in their struggle. They have me and I am available by phone. This has been very assuring for my clients. It empowers them to develop control over their anxiety.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
