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.

Debora listens to my concerns and offers practical advice pertaining to my needs.
Since starting therapy I have recognized a significant improvement in my mindset and how I go about addressing life’s challenges. My anxiety levels still have work to do but glad to have such a great therapist to help me through.
So thankful to have been led to Miss Debi! She is such a spirited and encouraging teacher!! I’ve been in weekly sessions for about 3 months now and I’ve learned more than I thought possible. Can’t recommend her enough!
I believe Debora was heaven sent to me during one of the darkest times in my life & because of her, I see light at the end of my tunnel! She is a blessing to me & thanks to her, I know she’s in my corner to help guide me through my struggles. She provides the constructive criticism I need but in a loving way. I can’t imagine having anyone else as my therapist!!
I have only had two sessions with Debbi but so far it has been great! She had to reschedule an appointment with me but quickly found a spot in her schedule. I have made it a point to write down a subject each time we talk and she is always willing to participate in a discussion about that. She seems very realistic and thoughtful and is willing to give me space to express myself.
Debbi is fantastic and very knowledgeable. I would recommend her 1000%
Debbie is awesome. Extremely helpful. Consistent and reliable.
Debbi has been wonderful. She is easy to talk to and doesn’t make me feel pressured. I always appreciate our sessions and how she breaks things down in to manageable goals.
Debbi is kind but challenging, supportive but pushy, looks soft but doesn't let you get away with anything.. she's smart and funny, and I love that she's my therapist.
Debbie is an amazing counselor! I have only been seeing her for two weeks. I haven’t done counseling in 14 years and was extremely scared of how this was going to go. I felt connected to her almost instantly and knew I had chosen the right person for me. I cannot wait until my third session.
