he changes my life ♥️

Reviewed November 2024

He is professional, comes across very caring and understanding. He listens well and is for starting each session on time. I only had three sessions so far, so I assume I would be able to write much more about him, as well as the sessions in the future. I am looking forward to my next session.

About online counseling

Affordable.

There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

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.

Reviewed September 2024

I have never been to a therapist but as soon as I saw the option to text with a therapist I was in. Chris is understanding, helpful and very professional. He helped me to get through a long time of sleep issues that felt like insomnia and I couldn't be thankful enough.
