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.

Of the therapists I’ve had, Rex stands above them with his level of knowledge and insight. He knows how to affectively bring light and calm to any given situation I express to him and offers a variety of helpful ways to reframe my thought process and bring clarity. I have only worked with him for about a month and can’t wait to see the progress I continue to make going forward with him.
