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.

I am very thankful for Kylie. She is always very responsive and helped me through a very severe panic attack. I look forward to doing more work with her.
Kylie is an awesome listener! Very sweet. I felt cared for. Not judgmental. Exactly what I needed.
Thank you Kylie for not giving up on me!
I like Kylie, she’s a very good listener and I can feel she’s really trying to help, as a professional. I will definitely recommend her.
For the first time in a long time I feel good again and not afraid. I even have hope in therapy again.
Kylie has been very helpful in my time of need. She's always been respectful and offers tons of coping mechanisms as well as support.
Very helpful, answered questions and practiced with worksheets. Going to me doctor soon and going to see a local LMFT. Almost there!
Kylie Kam is wonderful. She is prompt at responding and has helped me walk through my issues in an effective manner. She responds within the same day and always seems to truely care.
Kylie is caring, supportive, and great to talk to. I wasn’t sure how virtual therapy would work out for me, but she has made it a great experience. I highly recommend her as a therapist.
Kylie has been good and very responsive. Mostly I have needed a sounding board - which has been very helpful lately!
