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.

Dr. Lewis has been an incredible therapist who has truly exceeded my expectations.

She was very easy to open up to and really listened to what I was struggling with. I highly recommend her.
My first session with Dr Lewis led me looking forward to our second session even more. She gave me great feedback and asked questions that helped me to realize what my potential truly is. I love our sessions and am excited to do the work to heal with Dr Lewis helping me decide and unravel my life.
My counselor has made me feel very comfortable, I am learning many tools to help me work through my struggles/marriage. I feel like I'm speaking to someone who truly cares. I liked the overall experience of talking about my emotions/marriage.
Dr. Lewis is extremely kind and interactive. She does an excellent job of listening but also engaging in meaningful dialogue to share her thoughts. She shares her expertise in a thoughtful, disarming way. I have enjoyed working with her!

I love Dr Lewis. She gets me in a way that nobody has before. She is an invaluable part of my navigation through healing and my process of mental growth. I am so blessed to have her in my corner.
Dr Lewis, I greatly appreciate your time and words of encouragement and affirmation. I will always look at counseling as a beneficial and safe place to express my inner feelings/thoughts, a large portion of my positive outlook is because of how you treat me during our sessions. Thank you for you calm, thank you for your kindness.
She is compassionate and patient with me. I love how empathetic she is
I, myself, am a LPC. Long story short, I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2019. “You have cancer. “The scariest words I’d ever heard. My anxiety and my blood pressure went through the roof. That was three years ago. I thought I could handle all of the anxiety and depression that can often accompany cancer, on my own, because I have a degree. Turned out I needed more. I decided to admit I needed to speak to a therapist. I took the better help quiz and was paired with Marilyn. I am blessed to be working with her. She is very comforting and genuinely cares. I would recommend her to anyone.
Dr. Lewis is very compassionate and understanding. She listened to everything I had to say and had great questions to direct me or to think deeper about an issue. I will be talking with her on a regular basis! I was very nervous about my 1st meeting/call with her but she put me at ease quickly and we were able to discuss a lot of issues. She is also providing me tools to work with to help me overcome my anxiety. I would highly recommend Dr. Lewis!!
