I have the ultimate confidence in Mary Ann that she has my goal in mind every time that we speak together. She supports me and understands me well and comforts me when I make steps backwards and finds ways to help me to move forward. I have been working with her from the very beginning and have no doubt that she and I will continue to work hard to make myself stronger and better than I have ever been before.

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.
