Shannan has been the easiest person to talk too! She has a great personality and extremely down to earth. I normally have a hard time opening up. But it comes so easy when I’m talking to her. She has helped me so much already and would recommend her to anyone. She’s good at what she does and has a lot of useful knowledge in a lot of different areas!

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.
