More about Mareena
- 6 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am a licensed professional counselor in Pennsylvania with 6 years of experience working as a master's level counselor. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced relationship conflicts and challenges.
I value the therapeutic process between the client and therapist, where real change is encouraged to happen. In providing a compassionate, non-judgmental, and safe environment, I help foster your own personal healing and growth through a relationship anchored in compassion, empathy, trust, and respect. I provide support and useful feedback to help clients effectively address personal life challenges, aiding clients in understanding their core belief systems, which influence their habits, choices, and behaviors.
It takes courage to make a change. Allow me to walk this road with you.

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.
