I'm Dr. Oscar McKinley, a therapist with extensive experience supporting individuals through some of life's most challenging experiences. Over my career, I've worked with clients navigating depression, trauma, anger, bipolar disorder, couple therapy and ADHD. I'm skilled at helping people address communication difficulties, process trauma and loss, and move toward forgiveness and healing.
My approach is grounded in understanding each person's unique story and circumstances. I work collaboratively with clients to build insight, develop coping skills, and create meaningful change at a pace that feels right for them. I'm committed to showing up with authenticity, respect, and genuine care.
I'm honored to support clients from diverse backgrounds and experiences. If you're considering therapy, I want you to know that taking that step takes courage, and I'm here to walk alongside you with compassion and commitment to your growth.

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.
