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.

Marsha is a great listener and sometimes that’s all person need. However, in addition to that, she also has a wealth of knowledge, and is able to offer help in a variety of ways which is invaluable to me
Marsha is honest, direct, and a great listener. She lets me process my anxiety while still helping me overcome it with specific tips and responses.
Marsha is very compassionate. She listens and gives great advice and exercises. I love every session with her!
Marsha is amazing!! She’s very smart, helpful and she listens!!! And I couldn’t ask for more. She is very caring and she is always there for you when you need her. She’s always offering help, advice and other resources. It has been hard for me to find someone as good as her. Your very lucky if she comes into your life. I was very lucky to find her. Thank you Marsha.
Marsha helped me moved through a huge moment in my life, one that I hadn't even realized I was going to go through with. I am extremely impressed with her balance of professionalism and compassion. Her encouraging nature helped me to find the confidence I needed, and her suggestions were always gently delivered. Over the several months we worked together, I learned several new and different ways of acknowledging, managing, and processing my anxiety. The tools I have developed will serve me well moving forward, and I am very grateful to Marsha.
Marsha is thoughtful and patient during our sessions. Not only does she take her time in her responses but she lets me formulate my own. I never feel rushed to just spit out my immediate thoughts. I get to process in real time, and she guides me to the right answers without pushing her own agenda/ideas down my throat.
Marsha has been super helpful and She is always willing to listen. Talking to her always relieves stress. Thank you.
Marsha was a fantastic counselor for me. I found her incredibly easy and comfortable to talk to. When she asked questions I was never rushed for an answer, she never interrupted me and was very considerate and consistent. She helped me understand my issues a lot better and helped me deal with them appropriately. She was great at recognizing my improvements and setbacks and would 100% recommend her to friends and will return to her counseling when I next need therapy
Marsha is awesome! I have been seeing her for a few months now and have made so much progress!
Marsha is truly amazing and really listens to me.
