Kendra responds to me in a way that I don’t feel I am judged and I feel safe to talk and pour out everything. I feel she understands based on listening and gives me very practical skills to help me through. Also it leaves me excited toward the next sessions knowing that I am getting things worked on to help my day to day life improve surrounding my conflicts

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.
