Hello My name is Anita and I am a licensed Professional Counselor Associate but I also am a licensed chemical dependency counselor. I have about 5 years of experience treating clients with anything from addiction, depression, PTSD, Grief and loss, and Anger Management issues. I like to think I have the ability to meet the client where they are at and work a program of recovery with the client as a direct lead in his/her own mental health.

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.
