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.

Very good listener and very helpful, supportive feedback.
After 2 sessions, she has already put me on the spot to dig deep and really answer “why” She asks the question, I answer and she immediately asks me “what could you have done better? What do you think the root cause of the issue was and what can you do to improve?” I look forward to continuing my sessions with Dr. McDonough for the long term
Dr. McDonough has been a great help to me and is understanding of what I am going through.
Dr Becky has been great. She’s prompt for appointments, listens with constructive feedback and is mindful of information given at each session.
