Now that I have had some time with David, I am not only happy with the level of care that I receive, but I feel he understands my needs and offers me support with the issues I bring to our sessions. He is respectful and polite, but he also has a way of maintaining those qualities while keeping it real and telling you what you need to know and hear in order to grow and step out of your box and make the changes, and reframe your thinking in order to work through your problems and achieve your goals.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
