Kristen Rawls had been very open, understanding, and supportive as we worked through past trauma, emergent crisis, and future anxieties. Kris has provided great coping methods and timely insights that helped shape a more healthy response to stress. I recommend his friendly and professional service with my whole heart.

I’ve had the privilege of working with Kristen, and I can confidently say he is a tremendously gifted therapist. From our very first session, I felt truly seen and heard in a way I never anticipated. Kristen has an incredible ability to listen deeply and always refers back to our previous conversations, bringing context and continuity to each session. His knowledge of mental health conditions and the tools to address them is impressive, and his guidance has been instrumental in helping me make real, positive changes in my life. Kristen is not only kind and professional, but he also creates a safe, supportive space where growth feels possible. I’m so grateful to have found such a good fit in a therapist. Highly recommend!

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.
