Online Counseling

Why Online Counseling?

Online counseling offers unique advantages that make it a fantastic option for many. Online counseling, also referred to as virtual or Telehealth counseling, is a secure and accessible option for those desiring flexibility and accessibility within their busy schedule. With online counseling you can meet with your therapist from the comfort of your home or office, eliminating the need for time-consuming travel, and making it easier to fit into work, home, or travel schedules.

 

Additionally, some find online counseling eases anxiety related to counseling, making it easier for them to open up about sensitive topics when they’re not sitting face-to-face with their therapist and communicating from a location they feel safe and comfortable.
