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.

Dr. Mary feels safe. I enjoy my time spent with her and am excited to have her a part of this journey with me. Short term or long I am appreciative.
I like Marys’ input and insight. I like her approach to her therapy. She honestly reminds me of my mother and her friends. Caring advice, with the encouragement to think through the variables. And balance the emotions of the situation with the logic of the overall. That’s how I think and she basically coaches me through it.
Dr. A is a God sent. She listens, she understands, she motivates and encourages you. She will give it to you on the level you need to hear it on. I cannot say enough about how amazing she is.
Mary is most kind and easy to relate to. She is very open minded and made me feel comfortable breeching subjects that are delicate so that I do not feel embarrassed or ashamed, that is important to me as I have discovered that my issues are more complex than Irealized and I had to dig deep at certain times during our discussions to help her help me. I am glad to have found her!
Dr. Archibald really listens and understands what is going on and the undercurrent of issues that are causing distress. Her advice is practical and relevant. I would recommend her to anyone.
The best human I’ve encountered on a very long time. She is absolutely amazing!
I love every session I have with Mary. She has opened me up and had me thinking outside of the box and I really needed her in my life. My husband is also benefiting from her as well and it's helping our relationship.
So wise and kind. She listens and explain things in manner that is so easy to understand. And delves into the word which strengthens the whole thing. She’s a blessing and I’m truly blessed I got her as my therapist.
Mary is extremely easy to talk to and gives great suggestions.
Mary is great, makes me feel at ease and stays calm and listens.
Mary is very intelligent in her field of study. She knows how to respond and how not to respond. She definitely is the ideal therapist everyone needs. Very grateful to be working with her.
