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.

Best therapist I've worked with.
Herbert's not just a great listener, but also an active and engaging coach, which is exactly what I needed in a counselor.
Herbert was kind, knowledgeable, and great insight to assist with my personal situations. Offered great recommendations, and I found myself writing everything down as I didn’t want to miss any of advice given. Truly great listener and truly helped me vent and release some serious stress. I am already feeling great peace in my life, in the way God wants us to live. Thanks Herbert!
Herb changed my life. I can’t thank him enough!
