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.

Lauren May-Jones is a great therapist. She's very empathetic, listens well, and comes up with good solutions to difficult issues.
Lauren May has been so helpful and supportive through a difficult time in my life. Her guidance and ability to make me feel at ease in discussing my problems have been truly appreciated. I am very grateful to have Lauren May as my therapist.
I have just started with Lauren but she seemed to understand very quickly what I need and the goals I am working towards. Thank you Lauren!! I appreciate you!
In the little amount I’ve been speaking to Lauren she has made me feel more happier, confident & leveled minded. She’s made me comfortable to open up & speak to her about things I normally don’t talk about with anyone. She’s very good at giving you different points of views & I am glad she is my therapist & starting my journey with her.
Lauren is great. She always has different strategies up her sleeve when something isn’t working for me and she challenges me in ways that I need. Highly recommend.
Lauren has been supportive and understanding
