Starting therapy was something I had considered for years but always nervous to actually follow through on. After being matched with Katherine I wished I hadn't waited so long! She made me feel comfortable immediately and talking to her is so easy! Friends and family started noticing changes in my disposition soon after and it's all thanks to the confidence and coping skills I gained from talking to Katherine.

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.
