John Smith immediately felt like I've known him for a long time. This was kind of scary going into the 1st session and he was kind and comforting. I am going through postpartum anxiety. He's been teaching me perspective and how to calm myself down. He's very sympathetic to the bad things that I've gone through. Overall, a great guy!!!

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.
