Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Marlo is amazing! She goes above and beyond, very empathetic and checks on me in between our sessions.
Marlo is a great listener, understanding, validating, and provided the tools that I needed for every situation. I am grateful for her help!
I'm in my second year of working with Marlo and it's been a journey filled with growth and healing. Marlo has been an exceptional therapist, consistently providing support in a non-judgmental and straightforward manner. As someone who identifies as a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), I've found her approach particularly valuable. Marlo possesses this remarkable ability to recall small yet meaningful details from past sessions, making me feel seen, heard, and supported. Her focus on cultivating loving kindness and emphasizing self-care as my sole responsibility has been a simple yet powerful concept that has resonated deeply with me. Through her guidance, I've developed greater self-awareness and confidence in my decision-making and boundary-setting. This progress has led to significant improvements in my interpersonal relationships and communication skills. An important lesson I've learned from Marlo is the understanding that I am not responsible for others' feelings, moods, or reactions-a key aspect in addressing my ongoing struggles with hypervigilance and anxiety. Her clear communication style, active listening, and solution-oriented guidance have enabled me to navigate difficult emotions and experiences more effectively. I look forward to continuing my work with Marlo to further deepen my self-understanding and personal improvement. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking quality support, guidance, and personal growth.
I really enjoy practicing the exercises before ending the session. I really appreciate that because it truly guides you in the right direction from the start.
Marlo, listens and works on things that I want to focus on. She had given some tools to help myself. She is open and listens to my concerns.

Most beautiful soft spoken, problem solving person I’ve talked to. I feel in a safe space and productivity. So happy I switched to her!
I’ve learned so much from Marlo These past 9 months have been the best. She’s taught me it’s ok to feel how feel and validate your feelings. I hate see Marlo leave because she’s the absolute best and she’s so caring and compassionate. I couldn’t have asked for a better therapist Marlo is top tier baby PERIODT. Marlo has taught me life tools like being a gray rock and I’m carrying my rock everywhere. Thank you Marlo ❤️

Marlo has been a great help for me during a period of a lot of transition and big decisions. She taught me a lot about myself and was an essential support system for me!
I saw Marlo during a period in my life when stress was overwhelming me. She made me feel better immediately. She was able to give me tools and ideas to handle the situations I was dealing with. They worked great and I feel much stronger because of her.
Amazing!! Look forward to talking to her every week! Really gives me perspective on anything and everything and has helped me change the way I look at situations and at a pace that I am comfortable with.
Shes super supportive and understanding as well as patient! She helps me identify my problems and finding solutions for them
I think the thing I like most about Marlo is her ability to just keep it real regardless of what I’m telling her. I don’t feel like I have to sugarcoat what I’m going through even when it’s not pretty. She completely gets my perspective and what I’m going through and gives me appropriate feedback on how to work through whatever issues I might have
Marlo immediately made me feel comfortable and is always very calm and attentive.
She really respects me and asks me question so that I can come to my own conclusion. She doesn’t make me feel guilty for not always following her advice or my own revelations about a situation.
Marlo is very knowledgeable and kind. I have improved so much within the 3 therapy sessions thus far. She really listens and cares. I have the utmost respect for Marlo.
I would to thank Marlo for her help. She was amazing and provided me tool to help me along in my journey.
