Dr. Proctor is very experienced and knowledgeable. He is empathetic and doesn’t make you feel like a broken person, rather a person who (like anyone else) is struggling with one thing or another. He has a very calming demeanor, and offers tangible exercises/ways to cope with anxiety.

Getting help changed my life. I don’t why I took so long to get help. It took over 3 years saying I would talk to therapist and never did it, but I did it and I’m very grateful. Thank you DR. Joe Proctor

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
