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.

I feel very comfortable with Myra, im glad shes my therapist
Myra really listens to me and my heart. She relates really well to how I’m feeling and gives me the confidence and support I need to grow in a constructive way. I’ve been working on healing from betrayal and infidelity in my relationship. Myra has helped me set new boundaries and enforce them in a loving way. My relationship feels reset and recharged. Forgiveness feels close at hand. I’m excited to move forward.
