Marie is a fantastic active listener. She has such a calming engaging approach. She truly helps lead you to the answers you seek before you realize it..... you have the clarity you were looking for. She has helped me break through various barriers and work through trauma I have carried for 30+ years. She was an answered prayer for me as I wanted a counselor to help me through my inner work. Marie was heaven-sent!!

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.
