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.

Peter has been so monumental in my healing process. He helped me look at things from different perspectives. He is really compassionate and creates a safe environment. I felt so comfortable sharing anything with him. He shared so many coping skills with me that I was able to implement everyday. I’m so greatly to have been matched with him. I was hesitant to start therapy but he made this experience extremely rewarding.
