Marie is the best therapist that I’ve found to work with here on BetterHelp. I feel lucky to have been paired with her as she has helped me unpack my childhood trauma, get help on how to free myself from recent emotional-mental abuse and empower me to live my life judgement-free from others. In many ways, she has saved me from spiraling down and has lifted me up at during every single therapy session. Kind, compassionate, and an excellent therapist all around!

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.

Marie is and has been a God send. Her ability to comprehend and explain situations I may not be aware of has been spot on. She's compassionate and understanding. I look forward to speaking to her weekly. I write down all my issues and she helps tremendously. I stopped therapy for a while but needed to come back and I would not have wanted to speak to anybody else but her.

Marie has helped me so much to go through the grieving process with my father passing. I never imagined I could feel this good about myself and my emotions. My only regret is that it took me 8 years to finally talk with someone about it. Thank you Marie and Better Help for giving me the opportunity to work through my feelings and emotions.

Marie quickly identified some of the major things I was struggling with as well as identified the underlying concerns that I have that I didn't know I had.
