She helps me through the hard time that I have and helps me to get the help I need. She understands where I am coming from and supports me anyway she can. She has made me feel calm and comfortable around her. With someone who has very bad anxiety it is a great relief that I can communicate with someone without panicking every second.

About online counseling

- Pay a low flat fee.

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.

Great to work with so far
Shelby is very kind and compassionate. We have only had two sessions but I have felt comfortable with opening up to Shelby in them. I look forward to our future talks.
Shelby is amazing at listening and taking in all my concerns and issues and spins it back so I can fully understand them as well. She is also great at getting back to me in a timely fashion. I look forward to every session with her.
