She is kind, I vibe well with her nwcausw she watches things I watch as well as she is able to work with me wherever I am at that day. As well she had never taken on someone with multiple personalities before but she asked for help from a colleague and chose to take me on. She is able to find humor on trauma which is something incredibly important to me to have in a therapist. Without humor my trauma would destroy me. She is also willing to go above and beyond to make things in a way you need it. I asked to make a safety plan. I said it would be cool if there were pictures to help when I'm in crisis. I expected one once in a while. But I received a photo on every piece of the list. Photos I can see and identify when in need. She did this all on her own time. She is able to get me to spill everything on my mind without fear of judgment. I would 100% recommend. Especially for 20ish year Olds. All in all I think she's awesome.

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.
