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.

Dr. Allen is an angel on earth! Compassionate, professional and brilliant!
Lolita was so pleasant to speak with. On our very first encounter she listened to my issues and concerns and provided great feedback and guidance without biases. I look forward to working with her.
Lolita was awesome! I’ve benefited tremendously from my time with her and she was especially a great listener and insightful. I would recommend and use her again .
She listens to me that’s the best part. Understanding I need to just talk or vent.
Lolita listened to me. To feel heard and understood without judgement, and then given tools to help me make my own decisions was what I needed, and she delivered.
I appreciate how genuine Lolita is. I was nervous about starting this process but I’m grateful that I was paired with her. She has a calming spirit and provides an easy environment for you to open up.
