What to Expect from Online Therapy
Consistency in therapy is so important to help get you to your goals. But sometimes consistency can be hard because of bad weather, sickness, trouble with transportation or even moving across the state for college!
Online therapy can help you stay consistent even when it’s hard to get to the office.
