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.

Stephanie is really kind and patient. Even when when I’m struggling with the same things almost every week she is so encouraging. It’s nice to feel like someone believes in you even when you don’t feel able to believe in yourself. She’s really opened my eyes about certain things I didn’t notice about myself and it’s pretty life changing.
