About online counseling

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.

Ruth is kind and lets me speak my mind. She listens very carefully and catches intricate details. I highly appreciate her practical guidance and the new perspective that she provides.

Empathetic kind and professional, I wasn’t sure what to expect.. however Ruth gave me closure and validation on a situation that I was sitting on for a while feeling very lost and detached, therapy is a working personal progress and I was lucky enough to speak to a professional that is understanding and a great communicator.

Ruth has been my go-to person from the day I started therapy. I have no words to explain how she has made a positive impact on me. I message her everyday and she takes the time to read all my messages and promptly responds to them. I have felt so much better after my sessions and regular catch ups with her. Cannot thank her enough, and I look forward to my sessions. I have got a lot of inner peace now, thanks to her!
