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.

He’s just great! I have been able to work actively in issues with methods he suggests, and it has made a difference!
I have connected with Howie in just two sessions, and I look forward to our next appointment together. He has truly been an inspirational and helpful therapist. I highly recommend him for your needs.
With a one session and mainly messaging back forth we develop a good connection easy to talk to and getting sessions started I like the journals
Howard has been all that I hoped for in seeking therapy. He is attentive to what I share with him and very thoughtful in his responses.
Howie was consistent, professional, and informative. It was easy to connect with him as he had relative ways to help me better understand my situations. I highly recommend him for long term therapy.
Howard has been excellent to talk with. Especially going in to session number 1, i figured I’d have a lot to dump on him for lack of a better term. One story took me to another story which took me to another, so on and so forth. Howard did excellent with putting the pieces together and making sure he understood exactly what i was trying to get out. He’s been excellent this whole time and would HIGHLY recommend him!
