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.

Ms Gail has been such a treasure to me these last 9 months. I'm learning and growing so much from the inside out with the tools she has given me.

Gail is absolutely wise, thorough, respectful and offers an incredibly calm new view on situations!

Ms. Gail has been wonderfully helpful. She set goals for us to accomplish and would always check in with me. She helped me gain insight and a different perspective to look at while simultaneously helping me work through my issues. She was always upbeat and positive but not in an overbearing way. I loved connecting with her and talking with her was like talking to an old friend (though I still recognized her as my counselor, she was just that easy to talk to). I would always look forward to our sessions. After some time and after working through most of my goals, I would leave my sessions feeling refreshed and energized. Ms. Gail is a wonderful, knowledgeable counselor.

Reviewed August 2021

Gail has been very helpful for my personal happiness and overall mindset. She sets goals for me to work on between sessions, she gives great feedback during sessions, and she checks in with me between our calls to make sure I’m on track. I am really thankful for her level of care and commitment to my progress.

Reviewed March 2021

She always responds to my messages fast, and she is encouraging me to stand of for myself, that people will respect me for it. She wants me to get out and be social with people but social distance, just make small conversation so that I can come out of my shell a little.
