I am so happy that Kathryn is my therapist. She is a great listener and has had some great suggestions to help me navigate this time in my life. I really appreciate her concern, her insight and her compassionate understanding of the stresses in my life right now. Not only has she recommended worksheets and books, but she has also had some very practical ideas that have been game changers. Because of Kathryn I’m much more positive about my situation now, I’m able to handle things better, and I give her the credit!

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.
