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.

I must say that I am very thankful for the sessions I had with Ms. Desiree, she opened doors in me that were closed in my past. I now see that I was harming myself by getting frustrated on the search for my future. I still a lot of work to do but I am confident that I will be a better person to me. Mahalo
Being from Hawaii, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that Ms. Desiree Cantorna-Ibarra understands and respects the local Hawaiian culture. Our family culture and upbringing make a big difference in why it can be difficult to deal with the today's challenges and perspectives. I was amazed with her profound concepts that hit home for me.
Desiree was extremely empathetic and understanding towards my situation. She provided an alternative perspective to help enlighten my views & gain direction towards resolutions.
I’ve had therapist before, and Desiree so far has been the best highly recommend her.
