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.

Maria provides me with the understanding, guidance and support I need. While we’ve only had 2 sessions together, Maria has exceed my expectations in so many helpful ways. We both know that we’re in a marathon together and NOT a 100 yard dash.

I've had just two sessions with Maria, so I am still getting to know how to work with her. I do feel she is listening to me, and that she is responding to, and guiding me accordingly. I think I'll need more sessions to really know, and I am very interested in having more sessions with her. She is gentle and assertive at the same time.

I have been seeing Maria for a few months now and I really like her. It's hard to open up sometimes to therapists, but she has made it easier for me to do so. She is great with recommendations on books and gives me assignments, which have helped a great deal. I am still a "work in progress" but I believe with her help, I will get there. I highly recommend her.
