Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

I'm in my second year of working with Marlo and it's been a journey filled with growth and healing. Marlo has been an exceptional therapist, consistently providing support in a non-judgmental and straightforward manner. As someone who identifies as a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), I've found her approach particularly valuable. Marlo possesses this remarkable ability to recall small yet meaningful details from past sessions, making me feel seen, heard, and supported. Her focus on cultivating loving kindness and emphasizing self-care as my sole responsibility has been a simple yet powerful concept that has resonated deeply with me. Through her guidance, I've developed greater self-awareness and confidence in my decision-making and boundary-setting. This progress has led to significant improvements in my interpersonal relationships and communication skills. An important lesson I've learned from Marlo is the understanding that I am not responsible for others' feelings, moods, or reactions-a key aspect in addressing my ongoing struggles with hypervigilance and anxiety. Her clear communication style, active listening, and solution-oriented guidance have enabled me to navigate difficult emotions and experiences more effectively. I look forward to continuing my work with Marlo to further deepen my self-understanding and personal improvement. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking quality support, guidance, and personal growth.
