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.

Loving her service so far

Always helpful
She is great
Laurel is fantastic! I felt like a different person after my first two sessions with her. She is kind, caring, compassionate and very supportive.
I'm only in the beginning of my sessions, so right now, all is going well. I appreciate the listening aspect as I seem to need that time to get it all out. It helps when someone takes the time to listen and acknowledge, so thus far, it is going well.
Laurel is kind, caring, empathetic and very professional. I am very comfortable with her and she has helped me tremendously.
I’ve only been dealing my with laurel for a couple sessions but she has been extremely helpful and a great listener
