*Avery Watson* was a college student at the University of North Carolina, living in Piney Creek North Carolina. She was an avid sports fan and followed all the news about college athletics closely. When she saw the article about the Big 12 Conference exploring a naming rights deal, she was initially amused by the idea of the 'Allstate 12' or the 'FanDuel 12.' But then something unexpected happened.

This news triggered a memory from Avery's past. Her father had been an executive at a major insurance company, and she remembered him talking about the importance of branding and sponsorship deals. She recalled how he had been disappointed when his company missed out on a big naming rights opportunity for a professional sports stadium. It had been a source of frustration for him, and he had often lamented the missed opportunity.

Avery couldn't help but wonder if her father would have been interested in a deal like this with a college sports conference. She knew that he had always valued the exposure and prestige that came with such sponsorships. As she thought about it more, she realized that she had never fully dealt with the grief of losing her father a few years ago.

Feeling overwhelmed by her emotions, Avery decided to seek help. She searched online and came across the Stepping Into Action program offered by Hofman Hollis. The program's focus on dealing with grief and trauma resonated with her, and she signed up for the online sessions.

During one of the sessions, *Avery* opened up about her feelings. 'It's like this news article reopened an old wound,' she said. 'It made me realize that I haven't fully processed my dad's passing and the impact it had on our family.'

While some experts praised online therapy programs like Stepping Into Action for their accessibility and convenience, others expressed concerns about the lack of in-person interaction and the potential for misunderstandings or miscommunications. However, conflicting opinions from mental health professionals highlighted the ongoing debate about the effectiveness of virtual therapy versus traditional face-to-face sessions.

Despite the controversy, Avery found solace in the Stepping Into Action program. As she worked through her emotions with the guidance of the online counselors, she realized that seeking help was the best decision she could have made. It was difficult to find in-person support in her small town, so the online program was a lifeline for her.
