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.

Great insights from Mary It is helping me and am able to see the results

Reviewed March 2024

Just had one sitting with Mary so far, but I can tell you now the questions that Mary asks and her understanding on what's really going on has brought me so much further than my in office therapist that I've been visiting for almost 3 years now. She sets the mood right to make you feel seen, heard and understood (especially Safe) while also giving you very individualized tips that are simple to implement into life but help enourmously! I can only recommend Mary, especially for the people that have often felt misunderstood and not felt seen/heard lately.

Mary is a great listener and has terrific insights. She's patient with me and very supportive and encouraging. I get the feeling she really cares about my well-being, even when I am going through an especially difficult period and may not practice very good self-care. Offline, she responds quickly and thoughtfully to messages. I vigorously and confidently recommend Mary.
