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.

I have had many therapists but Lila is the only one that elicits my raw feelings. She offers a great blend of weed whacking, in one moment I am spilling my guts and the next we are joking and jovial, putting me at ease. She has taught me it’s OK to be sad and the maneuvers to deal with it. She has also been the first and only person to help me deal with my crippling anxiety. 10/10 Lila is a true hero!

Lila is very empathetic and truly listens to me. I believe that she genuinely cares about me and my well-being and wants me to get better.

We’re still getting to know one another. This is more on me than her, Lila responds so quickly and professionally. She also gives responses that dig deeper into your original post. I’m terrible at putting thoughts together sometimes so I love being able to share my journal entries. I also love there’s an option to send something urgently.
