I’ve had my doubts about therapy for years and years. Always had the mind-set of “If I can’t figure it out, no one can.” Then the day came and I woke up and realized I ran face-first into a wall I couldn’t overcome. That festered into things I didn’t like. So I finally sought guidance. I was matched with Dr. Moriarty and it’s been an absolute game changer. She’s super intuitive, majorly enjoyable to converse with about your concerns while feeling safe as you make yourself vulnerable doing so. She’s got this worldly-knowledge and experience that makes it to where she can relate to you and propose alternate points of view, multiple solutions, just eye-opening ways of thinking from that experience. I lucked out big time getting to meet and work with Dr. Moriarty. Thank you so much!

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.

Great at listening and providing relevant feedback, gentle but also redirects the focus to places she sees a space to work on other underlying issues. Gives tools and relevant real life examples to help understand.
