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.

Pam has extensive experience and hands on training in my needs practically and academically. I enjoy our time and am also challenged to grow where I need to be.
I love Pamela. She is knowable, compassionate, and patient. I feel like she is working with me and takes the time to listen to me. I highly recommend her.
I've been working with Pam on EMDR to relief me of my CPTSD. So far, it's been exactly what I needed. I have defeated most of my stomach issues and now we are working on the issues in my neck and back. Emotionally I am working on my flashbacks, depression, anxiety and anger. Pam is smart and straightforward and I appreciate her expertise.
Dr Kesler has been able to help me with 3 sessions more than any of the dozens of talk therapies I’ve gone through combined. I am so grateful for her- her dedication, her patience and passion for what she does. She is changing, saving, and preserving lives. Thank you, Dr. Kessler!
Pamela has been very helpful to me. Her direction and assistance has been very positive in providing my personal emotional growth and improved communication skills.
Very helpful! Glad I signed up
Pamela has been a great therapist by offering different tools and listening to my needs
