I strive to provide the same level of high-quality and compassionate counseling that our clients have come to expect from us without the added stress of traveling to an appointment.
What is Online Counseling
Online counseling and virtual therapy are becoming more popular as people look for ways to get help from the comfort of their own homes. Telehealth services provide a convenient, affordable, and confidential way to receive mental health services. Online counseling has been shown to be just as effective as other mental health services and beneficial to patients who seek therapy. Virtual Counseling can provide one of the highest levels of anonymity that traditional face-to-face counseling does not provide. It is a convenient and discrete method of receiving therapy. It also provides access to high-quality counseling and therapy for people in remote areas or who are disabled. Individuals whose social status in the family, community, and career may require anonymity to maintain the status quo and preserve their reputations. Online therapy allows clients to feel more comfortable and less stigmatized in discussing issues, conflicts, and/or mental health concerns.
