Dr. Neavin has helped me with issues I've had for years. I'm always impressed by her ability to be both extremely caring and empathetic, as well as stern when she needs to be. She has never come across as judgemental and is all around a fantastic therapist, I count myself extremely lucky that I found her on this app

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.
