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 guidance counselor ever.

Monica is an incredible therapist who understands the complex needs of her clients. I love working with her!
Monica and I have been meeting over the past month. She is a good listener and gives good feedback on the issues that I am dealing with. She is able to stay objective with her advice and listens to what my goals are currently without overdirecting the conversation. I appreciate that she is flexible with her methods of communication as well as providing check ins between meetings. I feel a genuine sense of empathy through the few conversations that we have had. I look forward to working on more of my goals with her guidance.
Monica is a caring and helpful therapist. I happily recommend her to others.
