I really enjoy my sessions with Emma, I feel she listens and pushes me to think in way that are not normal for me which allow me to improve myself and my relationships with people and habits I have. She’s so funny too which makes it easier for me to talk to her as I find her ways of thinking similar to mine. I can only thank her so much for all she has helped me with so far.

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.
