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.

I would be lost without Martha for the past 7 months. I’ve made peace with my pain, I’ve learnt to draw boundaries and more than anything else, to believe in myself. Martha has made it so easy for me to express myself, to be myself. I could tell Martha anything without the fear of being judged. I always look forward to my sessions, am excited to tell her the things I’ve felt and experienced during the week, both good and bad. Martha has become a part of my life and is instrumental to helping me getting back on my feet again when it felt like my world was falling apart and I just walked through life aimlessly. I can write pages about how incredible Martha is, but it’s best you find out for yourself. Thank you Martha! -J

Reviewed June 2021

Martha is a wonderful therapist. And here’s why: 1. Intelligent and Knowledgeable. The reason why my therapy sessions have been so successful is because Martha is so well versed in her areas of expertise. For example, she offers me tools and techniques to cope with my stress and panic attacks- both of which have decreased since starting our sessions together. I am now able to identify my stressors, acknowledge my emotions, and use various methods to slowly get rid of my anxiety. At the moment, she’s helping me achieve my goals that have been hindered by my anxious thoughts. I also wanted to make a note that she takes my culture (Asian American) into consideration with regards to our session- something I’m both impressed with and thankful for. 2. Approachable and kind personality We’ve established a good rapport immediately because she is so kind. She does not judge. She was able to sympathize with me when I was crying and make me laugh at the same time. And she’s very patient and wonderful. You could really tell she just wants the best for you. 3. Professional Martha has never missed any of our appointments. She’s very prompt and gives you her full attention during the sessions. She always answer my questions if I need help or advice. She also helps me explore solutions I never would’ve thought of if it weren’t for her helpful hand. All in all, her intelligence, kindness and professionalism makes Martha a fantastic therapist. Which is why I highly recommend her☺️
