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.

Stephanie is an incredible therapist! I wished I’de known her before.
Stephanie is a great listener and she is able to understand my problems and provide valuable insights on how to go about your problems. Despite having a short time with her, I would highly recommend her.
As an alpha male, I'm not always easy trust and slow down long enough to listen well to others. Stephanie has quickly been able to grab my attention and move our conversations in a very productive direction. She is extremely knowledgeable and professional! She is compassionate and very understanding. She listens well and asks very good and measurable questions. Her questions make me think, yet she challenges me to better help myself. I strongly recommend Stephanie!

Very attentive respectful and professional therapist my session with Stephanie has helped me better see myself and has given me a safe place to vent out my emotions
I completely understand how important it is to have someone who is patient and listens well. Stephanie seems to be that kind of therapist who provides helpful feedback and guidance when you're feeling lost or stuck. She has a wonderful ability to redirect your focus towards the things that matter, and this is incredibly helpful for me. It's always comforting to have someone who truly cares about your well-being.
I have been working with Stephanie for a long time now and it has changed my life! Thank you Stephanie
Ms. Stephanie is and amazing therapist, she has made me feel very comfortable sharing my feelings, she also can tell by my messages I type up during my daily journal how I was really feeling that day. This therapy has helped me so very much, I finally shared this information with my husband and he informed me that he notice and great change and he is proud of me for receiving the help needed to live a more happier life with my family.
I enjoyed talking to her. She understands my issues. The assignment she gives me after every session helps me self-reflect on how I need to learn to deal with my problems.
Stephanie is so helpful and really listens to me!
Stephanie has given me some good practical tools for dealing with things in my past. She is professional and non-threatening. She has good structure to her sessions while also being good at adjusting to what I need.
Stephanie is so easy to talk to. She speaks with kindness and has never been judgmental of anything I’ve said. She meets me in the conversation with great suggestions and has been nothing short of amazing. I highly recommend Stephanie!
Stephanie is very professional and always prepared with a game plan. She guides the conversations in a way that reassures me I'm sharing with a purpose and an end goal in mind. I'm excited to continue this journey!

Very good therapist, she helps me a lot
Ms Howard listens attentively and allows me to talk through my feelings. She also offers me opportunities to participate in other therapy types. Its early in our sessions but I'm comfortable with how things are progressing.
Stephanie is so down to earth and is a beautiful person and very approachable and understanding. I have a perfect match. Thank you for such an amazing service
I have only had a couple of sessions with Stephanie. In these sessions, she has provided me with so much support and understanding. She is incredible. I cannot wait to continue many sessions together.
Stephanie is a highly empathetic listener and well versed to help people discuss their issues. After two sessions I can easily see that she has a high level of expertise and is well equipped to help me.
Stephanie Howard has been one of the best therapists I've ever gotten the chance to work with, especially since this is my first time receiving therapy. She's patient and truly makes me feel heard. Her gentle nature really helps me stay calm when discussing troubling topics, such as my past and present trauma.
My therapist has been absolutely amazing in helping me through one of the hardest times of my life and encouraging me to push myself further towards healing so that I can find happiness on the other side of this. My situation has majorly improved and I thank God for her helping me get to where I am.
Stephanie has helped me immensely during a difficult period of my life. She understands what is helpful for me and encourages me to wellness. I have never felt she is condescending or arrogant as other therapists have been towards me. I thoroughly recommend her.
I am so grateful and blessed to work with Stephanie. She listens, open and helps me address the issues I am working on. She gives me practical advice and counsel that has been helpful during our sessions. I feel at peace when speaking with her.
I only had 2 sessions with Stephanie, but she already helped me a lot! She is very nice and she has very good strategies to help you deal with whatever you are going through. I am very happy I started therapy with her and I am looking forward to do some healing with her as my coach! Thank you Stephanie
I breathe better after talking to her. She listens and responds with practical things that I can use. She keeps it real. She is kind. She is encouraging. I have only had 3 sessions, but I feel a difference in myself. And if I have a “rainy day,” she provides the umbrella that works best for me.
She listens so carefully and gives the right advice everytime!
Stephanie has the most calming voice that allows you to feel heard and understood in ways that encourage introspection in such a gentle way. I am so appreciative of her kind approach & look forward to our additional visits.
Love her
