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.

Amazing
Stacy is thoughtful, experienced and knowledgeable. I've really benefitted from our sessions.
Stacy has listened to my issues intently and has not just given me some relief from my emotional trauma but has also given me a plan to get control of my life back and empower me.
This is my first time in therapy, and Stacy has made the process a very wonderful experience.
Stacy listened as I spoke and encouraged me to continue what I was doing. Her remarks were respectful and professional. She provided valuable information to help me get assistance.
