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.

Amazing
Amazing! Hands down the best therapist ive worked with. So honest and consideration
The best therapist I've ever had the pleasure of working with. Professional, very knowledgeable, kind, understanding, passionate, patient and very well studied. She has a lot of professional and life experience to draw from. It's hard not to feel better after simply talking to her.
Katherine is such an amazing therapist, she listens to you and lets you choose what you would like to talk about. Guiding you slowly. She makes me feel like she really understands me and knows what is going through my mind. She is very kind and funny as well which makes talking to her easier.
