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.

Sweet attentive caring and very professional
I was super hesitant at first with this app but Gay has helped me realize this was the right move.
She is a great listener. She makes me see things in ways I wouldn't have thought of.
She’s amazing, truly. I’ve never had a therapist check on me. I believe she truly cares. I’m lucky to have been matched with her.
