Kathy has been such a blessing to me. She's very supportive and fun, uplifting, and makes things feel lighthearted. She does a great job at not responding to the specifics of fears that could potentially feed OCD patterns, she instead provides grounding advice and moves your focus to something more important. She very reasonable, supportive, and wise. Also very intelligent and has helpful advice / resources ready to provide in a timely manner. I can always count on her to respond. She checks in on me at the perfect times. She's not smothering. I imagine her as being a very good mother because of her approach with things. She's understanding and loving, and I know I can trust her.

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.
