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.

Viviana’s great. Honest, thorough, only wants the best for you. If you want the best for yourself, I’d recommend.
Viviana is relatable …I felt comfortable opening up and sharing my feelings and perspectives without being judged from the first meeting.
Empathetic, honest, and warm. Viviana is not only a great listener, but knows how to challenge your thoughts and allow you to move forward. I feel understood, accepted, and supported which has allowed me to grow tremendously. Highly recommend for people who are looking to move past trauma and work on acceptance.
Viviana is such a great support as I work to improve my mental health. She is so patient and intuitive as we discuss what is going on. I am very lucky to have her as a resource.
I absolutely love Viviana! She’s knowledgeable, kind, and honest. Always there when I need her. Absolutely recommend anyone to her. She’s dedicated to her patients and truly cares!
Viviana is an excellent therapist that makes me feel incredibly comfortable and safe to be able to share everything with her and be 100% honest with her. She never makes me feel judged and I can say with confidence I already notice many positive changes in me. I highly recommend her!
Viviana has been great and helped me get through this tough time! I highly recommend her! :)
Viviana has been there for me like a second mom. We are able to relate about a lot of things, in ways that have made me feel so genuinely validated in therapy for the first time in my life. She listens and challenges me and has helped me find so much relief in trauma I have experienced throughout my life. I cannot recommend Viviana enough!
Viviana is wonderful! She always makes me feel extremely safe and heard. I can be unapologetically myself and I am confident she will give me the kindness, support, confidence, and tools to be a better person whether in session or on my own. I am excited to continue to work with her!
