Lauren is very professional. She helps me get to the bottom of my feelings and she asks me tough questions sometimes. She picks up on things that I don’t realize and helps me think of things in different ways.

Lauren Dicair is a fantastic therapist. Lauren is very caring to put your needs first and make sure you are comfortable. Everyone deals with healing differently and she seems to pass no judgment. Lauren gives empowering thoughts and ideas. I can open up to being human with my emotions again, and I know she's here for that.

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.
