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.

My therapist is very responsive and caring.
We’ve had a few sessions and she’s helped me tremendously, gave me coping skills and holds me accountable
When I started this, I was angry. I did not know why, not how to deal with this to a point where I did not want to accept that I was capable of showing unhealthy anger. Brytrina listened to me and help me identify and guided me to resolve this and made me realize and understand at a personal level what I had to improve and do to become help deal with my issues. I am very happy now and appreciate the things she taught me that I am actively using in my daily life.
She is empathetic and tries to offer ways to cope with your situation. I look forward to speaking with her.
