About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

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.

Michelle is the best therapist that I’ve worked with. She makes me feel heard and seen. She’s extremely knowledgeable, and has great insight in what’s happening. She’s been extremely supportive and hands on through this whole experience and I feel SO lucky I found her.

I have to say Michele is fantastic. Wonderful and fabulous. She’s actually one of the first therapist that I’ve been to that knows what she’s talking about and knows how to approach the situation and that’s what I love that about her. ☺️

Michelle is a blessing and I got very lucky getting matched with her as my therapist. She’s smart and caring and always knows what I’m going to say before I even say it. Even a few sessions in she’s already helping me feel 10x better.

It’s still very new and early but so far she’s been very attentive and available and has lots of tools and advice to offer.

Reviewed November 2024

Michelle takes the time to listen to me and validate how I am feeling, but the real work is happening when she challenges me to think and come outside of my comfort zone. This is causing me to create change which follows peace and clarity as a the end result. I leave sessions feeling like I can implement changes and have hope. I am forever grateful I was matched with Michelle.
