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.

Overall rating:
Jessica is the greatest.
Jessica is kind, patient, responsive and caring. She makes me feel heard and understood. She’s really helping me grow and heal in way I’m comfortable with.
This is the first therapist I felt was really interested in helping me through my issues. I’ve seen counselors before and wasn’t stoked about doing “video therapy”, but so far this has been great and I highly recommend Jessica.
