Vanessa is very warm, personable and attentive. However, she has a job to do and after introductions, was quick to not waste time and start to get to the bottom of my issues. Its like having a chat with someone you get along with at a dinner party. No stress, just easy to listen to yet good ideas based on her extensive education. Clearly someone who likes what she does and is passionate about helping others. Highly recommend!

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.
