Mary and I quickly identified goals for us to work and and share techniques to help me manage my anxiety. Mary was kind and supportive during our sessions, and she sent messages to check in between our calls. I had a great expereince and I'll use what I learned from Mary for a long time.

My name is Mary Sowah-Quaye, and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of California. I earned my Master of Social Work degree from the University of California State University in Bakersfield. I've worked in many different settings with individuals and families who have a variety of personal issues such as depression/anxiety, stress, family problems, and relationships issues.
My counseling style is warm, interactive, empathetic, and client-centered. My approach combines person centered, cognitive behavioral therapies and motivational interviewing. I believe you are the expert in your own life and I look forward to helping you when you are ready.
Thank you!

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.
