Kristen is truly a wonderful therapist and makes the idea of therapy a lot less scary. She’s understanding, patient, and gives me individualized ways to help with my problems that work for me. She’s flexible with scheduling and always able to squeeze me in as needed. I’m very grateful I chose Kristen as my therapist and enjoy her professional input but also her outgoing personality.

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.
