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.

Bret has been amazing to work with. I really appreciate the way he asks questions and listens to what it is that I am trying to say and explain. He has been amazing at helping me understand more about myself and what I am thinking and trying to do.
I feel Bret really listens to me and "hears" me with what I'm trying to say.
Bret is super great. He’s need someone to be brutally honest and asked him for that and he picked it right up.
