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.

My perspective remains the same. He is a very intelligent and sensitive person who has shown me respect and patience. He is also provided me with valuable advice and comfort.

Reviewed July 2024

Phil is exactly what I was looking for in a therapist. He’s an excellent listener, asks great questions that address interpersonal dynamics, and has a warm conversational style which I appreciate. (Freudian type therapy was not for me.) Phil responds quickly and has been a solid and safe place for me to process some very stressful situations. He meets me exactly where I am and gives grounded and practical suggestions to navigate my way through some rough waters. I feel he truly cares about my wellbeing.
