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.

Mariel is amazing!
Talk about timing... I was experiencing a difficulty time at work that communicated with a lay-off; talk about a double whammy! I looked into better help and won't look back. Working with Mariel has been a godsend. She's easy to talk to, supportive and has provided me the tools to evaluate the circumstances from a different lens, and this has helped me immensely.
Mariel is an incredible therapist. She makes me feel supported and understood! I could talk for hours with her and she always has helpful ways to help me deal with whatever I have going on that week. She is amazing!
Mariel is the best of the best! Professional, caring and smart. Thank you!
