This is my first time in therapy and Amy is so good at guiding me through this journey. She is always there for me when I need her and she is extremely smart and talented at what she does. It’s only been three weeks and I’ve already made some big moves at a better lifestyle and it is all thanks to Amy and her constant support.

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.
