In my first meeting with Melinda Kline, I entered not knowing what to expect. At the end of the meeting, I felt that I had engaged in a good getting to know you conversation, she understands how I am feeling and why, believe she wants to help me through this piece of my life I am struggling with, and will offer conversation, openness and the tools to help me do that. Today, after my first meeting with her, I feel hopeful knowing I have her in my corner to sort through the overwhelming challenges I am experiencing.

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.
