Hi, my name is Marty. I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Illinois. I received my MSW from the University of Denver in 2001 and have been working in the healthcare and social service field since then. I have worked as a therapist in residential treatment, inpatient behavioral health, nursing homes and in individual therapy. I have extensive experience working with adolescents who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression and general adolescent issues. In addition, I have experience helping clients with family conflict and relationships. I utilize a cognitive behavioral and client focused approach when working with clients. My approach consists of guiding the client in discovering solutions. I look forward to assisting you in your journey ahead!

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.
