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.

I’ve only mr with Lakeytha twice, but in those two sessions, I walked away feeling better— hopeful.
Lakeytha is a very calm and compassionate person. Even though I have not been with her for long, I can tell she is extremely good at what she does. I highly recommend her!
I love Mrs. Clayton because she is really helping me more the any other therapist has.
Lakeytha understands my anxiousness,and gives me solutions to help move forward.
Before meeting Lakeytha, I doubted that I would find a counselor that understood my concerns. From Day 1, Lakeytha was able to identify my issues and show empathy. I felt heard and understood for the first time. Lakeytha is also knowledgeable. I felt confident that she had the resources needed to help me with my issue and make progress. Since I have been seeing Lakeytha, I have felt more hopeful and less alone in my struggles.
My Counselor Lakeytha Clayton is really attentive and supportive. She really understands how to help her clients. Although is been a short time with her I see a nice client, counsel rapport developing between us.
Lakeytha has played the role as counselor and encourager for the last few months. My time with her has led to unearthing answers to personal questions I’ve deeply pondered since childhood. Lakeytha helped me unlock personal growth and helped me steward it well. She is very observant, detailed, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend coming under her leadership and counsel.
