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.

Awesome
Shes amazing! She listens and cares. Gives great insight and provides great guidance
I love Maria!!! I was a bit skeptical of using virtual therapy but it’s wonderful! I have access to help 24/7, maria gets me and provides wonderful insight. I’ve told her things I’ve never told anyone before.
She is good
She connects with me and inspires trust. She cares for my wellbeing.
Maria is simply amazing!! She takes the time to listen to you and give thoughtful but credible advice.
I was skeptical about trying online therapy- and I have to say that Maria is amazing. Its like talking to a girlfriend- NO judgement, and I have been more open with her about my issues than with any other therapist before. I never feel shameful when I tell her about my day or the week I have had. Its wonderful that she also knows what I dealing with and has first hand experience. She makes me laugh during our sessions too which is nice!
This is my first time in therapy and I was extremely nervous because I didn’t know what to expect. But completely shattered those reservations by accepting me from the very beginning. She spoke to me as if she had known me her whole life. She is like the older sister I’ve always wanted. She truly listens and understands to the best of her ability and she is so supportive and nonjudgmental. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to be my therapist :)
Amazing
Super helpful and great at making me feel comfortable sharing how I feel and giving reassurance.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my sessions thus far! I feel respected, heard, and valued. Each session leaves me feeling motivated to tackle the oncoming week, and to meet my goals.
Maria always listens without judgment and has helped me connect to my feelings. She is incredibly supportive and has offered many great tools helping me through one of the most complicated times of my life.
