Hello My name is Anita and I am a licensed Professional Counselor Associate but I also am a licensed chemical dependency counselor. I have about 5 years of experience treating clients with anything from addiction, depression, PTSD, Grief and loss, and Anger Management issues. I like to think I have the ability to meet the client where they are at and work a program of recovery with the client as a direct lead in his/her own mental health.

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.
