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.

LaTonya is amazing
Latonya is amazing and help me Get through a tough period in my life
First of all, LaTonya is a wonderful person with a great presence and personality! I felt understood from the first moment we met. She has a very positive and inspiring attitude and is giving me pro-actively tips and suggestions how I can learn to deal better with my condition. LaTonya helped me a lot, already in the first session. She could confirm the diagnosis I already had in suspicion. Also turned out that I got the same diagnosis already in my childhood. She also is eager to check thoroughly for any comorbidity, so she can offer me all the help I need on all levels. All thumbs up for LaTonya and I am looking forward to my future sessions with her!
LaTonya is an amazing human being. She has made my first experience with therapy amazing and we’ve only met twice! It’s crazy how quickly I felt I could open up with her about everything. Highly recommend
