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.

Deborah has helped me SO much!!!
Deborah is more than helpful, very understanding and to the point with actions. Very clearly understands needs to progress. Amazing.
Deborah has very good advice. I feel like she helped me figure out what works for me personally to feel better and establish it into my daily routines. She is great!
Deborah has been amazing. She responds quickly and has the ability to work through to the core of my issues and gives me the tools to deal with them. While working with me, Deborah is fully focused on helping me heal and become the person I want to be again. With Deborah's help I have no doubt I will achieve that goal.
I instantly felt a connection with Mrs. Deborah. She never misses any point I try to convey in my messages to her, and the worksheets she asks me to work through literally make me think differently and approach life's situations from a better reference point. Any communication and therapy done with Mrs. Deborah will absolutely be worth your time. I assure you! Just be brave, and get started! You won't regret it.
Very helpful and optimistic in my time of need but also gave me clinical decisions to give me the tools to change my own life.
Deborah has been more than helpful and is dedicated to help me progress.
I have just started with Deborah. We haven't really covered a whole lot at this point but I feel very comfortable and confident talking to her. She's been a voice of reason already, helping me to set goals and find a starting point which I appreciate greatly. I've had other therapists that did not understand my needs to organize my way to successful therapy. Deborah has already made me feel less overwhelmed about choosing a place to begin and moving forward. She just simply seems like a very compassionate sensible and experienced counsellor. I feel good talking to her openly and trusting her to guide me.
I like that I have someone to give me advice and work with me.
Deborah Youngblood is a compassionate, nonjudgmental person. Her guidance has helped me to believe in myself, overcome old anxieties, and set new goals. I highly recommend her!
Deborah has done a wonderful job counseling me. She has helped me be able to manage and reflect on my past experiences and more current issues. Our sessions have really brought me more peace and understanding where I struggled to find it before. Deborah is warm and understanding and makes me feel completely comfortable talking to her. Her counseling has been very beneficial and worthwhile for me.
Deborah is very comforting and very attentive.
Deborah has been great and very understanding. Very patient. She is so intelligent and has a lot of experience in the fields I am troubled with. I couldn't ask for a better therapist thus far.
