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:
Carla is a great listener. I have no trouble opening up to her and her guidance has been very helpful.
I feel comfortable opening up to Carla. No judgment, just wisdom and compassion.
Carla's warm and friendly demeanor made it easy to open up to her right away. She's been extremely helpful in helping me process all my mixed emotions through this very challenging period in my life, dealing with adult diagnosed ADHD, grief and burnout at work, all hitting me simultaneously.
After first few emails I felt that Carla would be a good match as my therapist, but after few minutes of taking with her ai knew that it was more than luck. She read my emails, listened carefully and somehow I felt understood. I know I need to do the work, but it felt as I saw someone who brought me great relief and it helped a lot and brought great hope. She is very responsive, nice, professional, pleasant and just with the perfect amount of experience.
