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.

This is my first time starting therapy and maya Bates has done a phenomenal job. She is kind and compassionate she actually cares about you and she checks in frequently I can text her anytime. I would highly recommend maya as your therapist.

Reviewed February 2024

Maya has been a great listener and I value her advice. This is my first experience with therapy of any kind, and I find Maya easy to talk to and to be a good listener. I really do feel that she has insight into my issues, and she gives me good advice. I feel that she is truly interested in me--she is just not "doing her job". That is not to say that she is not professional--on the contrary, but she takes the time to listen and respond to my concerns.
