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.

Vanessa has been amazing. I have really enjoyed our time in therapy. She listens well and is smart!
Vanessa has done a great job encouraging me to sustain a commitment to getting help. Sometimes life gets in the way and it seems so overwhelming that you just don't have the time for your own mental health. Its during those times that Vanessa keeps reminding you that those are precisely the times you need to take a moment to focus on yourself.
Although it is early in our sessions together, I find Vanessa to be a very warm and open person. Welcoming and supportive as well as being understanding of my needs, even if I’m a little shy or nervous about things she makes me feel better about myself and more confident about the process. She is always professional and courteous.
She’s great! Very helpful, easy to talk to and keeps me on track. Thanks Vanessa!
She is awesome
