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.

I have been seeing Brandais for a few months now. Her support and expertise has been amazing. I also have a background in Social Work, counseling and coaching- so I am very particular about my therapist and have had my share of not so great therapist in the past. Brandais is an active listener and truly hears what you are saying. She has helped me to navigate some challenges around my work and finding a new path. Brandais also helped me to identify some of my patterns and consistently offers me tools and support during every session. I wish I found her years ago.
