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.

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.

Good guy, better brain.
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.
A reliable therapist who listens and offers various forms of action that can lead to better things
Chris is caring, attentive, supportive.
He has gently and firmly helped me keep breathing and see practical steps forward. I look forward to our weekly chats.
