About online counseling

Affordable.

Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

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.

Margaretta’s counsel and patient advice has transformed my life for the better. I’ve learned how to manage My frustration and anger toward my brother and other family members who have failed in their duty to care for my Mom who is now in memory care. Instead of continuing to rage in anger for the failures of my brother and other family members, I am now focused on the positive and cherishing the time I have to visit my Mom weekly. She had early stages of vascular dementia and is in good care at her memory care facility. Margaretta has given me the tools to handle things since my Dad’s passing and memory decline of my Mom.
