Samaria has a quiet easy way about her. She listens, lets me speak, never cuts me off, or interrupts with ways to fix things, or fix me. When she does speak, it’s always in a calm knowing way. She nails things on the head most times, proof that she is involved and 100 percent listening. She always says the right things, asks me the right questions, like holding my hand, with her soft questions, she leads me to the answer through my own self reflection and eventual understanding. She’s kind, and patient, and caring. She calmly allows me to follow whatever direction my ADHD brain goes, and follows those rabbit trails I can sometimes go down. And in time, she will usually steer me back to something that jumps out as important, and worth looking at, in need of addressing in that moment and time. She’s very present, and personable. I highly recommend her.

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.
