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.

She is respectful and very helpful
Dr. Gottfried, I am still in therapy, and I will say that Dr. Gottfried is a God-send. Her approaches to my therapy continue to be multidimensional/holistic. She blends her professional/clinical skills with Christianity to provide patient-centric treatment. I continue to benefit from her compassionate care as I battle workplace discrimination.
After trying several therapists on this platform I found Dr Gottfried to be the most caring, compassionate and helpful therapist, really appreciate her help.
Victoria has been amazing. She is always accommodating to my crazy schedule and has truly offered great advice to me regarding my complicated life. She has a comfortable aura about her that makes me feel calm, casual, and completely engaged, and she still maintains a high level of professionalism.
