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.

This is my first time starting therapy and maya Bates has done a phenomenal job. She is kind and compassionate she actually cares about you and she checks in frequently I can text her anytime. I would highly recommend maya as your therapist.

Reviewed February 2024

Maya has been a great listener and I value her advice. This is my first experience with therapy of any kind, and I find Maya easy to talk to and to be a good listener. I really do feel that she has insight into my issues, and she gives me good advice. I feel that she is truly interested in me--she is just not "doing her job". That is not to say that she is not professional--on the contrary, but she takes the time to listen and respond to my concerns.
