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.

Danae Ganos is very understanding and patient. She helps me get down to the bottom of things I can quite make out, and helps me with problems I face.
She is so kind, calm, gentle and knowledgeable. I am so blessed to have her in my life. Anything bad or good happens in my life first Danae comes to mind, she’s like a pillow that I know I can lay & rest my head on with so many thoughts running in my mind because I know when I message Danae she responds so attentively, with the best response. I am so happy to have her in my life.
