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.

He is very attentive, helpful and kind. He has helped me greatly and would recommend him to anyone who wants active listening and support in tougher times!
Peter and I are still developing a relationship. However, he is professional, punctual, positive, engaging, affirming, and a great listener. We've only met a couple times. I am looking to get to know him as we continue working together.
Peter is great at understanding complex relationship issues and providing sound advice and mechanisms to tackle conflict. Would recommend to anyone.
