She is a sweet understanding lady that tries to push you and is very patient, when she does push you in a positive way it's always more of a love tap guiding you in the direction you already want to go and not shaming you for making mistakes are falling back. I very much am the person that has to do repetition to get things actually going and she really has helped me not feel too terrible about that and really made me feel motivated to actually do my goals. I hope to have her as my therapist for a long time and be able to progress with the things I want to do in my life

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.
