Online Therapy
Online therapy works for addressing a wide range of issues.
Research has demonstrated online therapy to be as effective as in-person therapy services. Also referred to as teletherapy, telehealth, or remote therapy, online therapy is a secure, private, and connected way to provide exceptional therapy services to clients in the comfort and privacy of their homes or offices.
Anxiety, depression, stress, overthinking, relationship issues, and couples counseling are just a few of the issues that can be addressed as effectively through online therapy as in-person therapy.

Online therapy has so many advantages.
Online therapy reduces scheduling conflicts and complications and maximizes treatment benefits while minimizing transition time (driving, parking, check-in). Online therapy also provides increased flexibility if you have a demanding schedule, and gives your therapist the ability to offer you expanded options that fit your needs beyond regular "office hours." And an hour without transition time means reduced childcare needs, if that's one of the complications you're working with.
For family or couples therapy, online therapy is accessible by multiple persons in different locations at the time of the appointment.
Online therapy also allows for hassle-free follow-up and scheduling changes as needed, with greater flexibility and options than in-person schedules and office hours.
Online therapy is easier on you.
The technology required is easily accessible through standard, secure platforms and regular computer or laptop setups.
