More about Maita
- 3 years' experience
- Female
- LMFT
I am a licensed marriage and family therapist licensed in Hawaii with over 3 years of experience working as a psychotherapist and life coach. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting and couples problems, and especially experienced in substance use disorders with dual diagnosis. I was also a former Registered Behavior Technician for ten years working with children with special needs.
My style in therapy is genuine, warm and client-oriented. I work within my ethical boundaries. I am culturally sensitive. My approach is ecclectic where I use various interventions from Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Gottman Method for couples. I adapt my interventions according to my clients' goals and needs.
I applaud you for reaching out for help. Allow me to be alongside your journey to be well as a whole person.
I look forward to working with 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.

Maita has shown me a side to me I never knew I could tap into. My situation with my problems has become more of an investment now and not an obstacle. Very grateful to have her helping me in this time of my life.
She’s very honest and stern, only wants the best for you.
Maita is professional, kind, and supportive. I really appreciate the time spent together. Her homework was thought provoking and helpful between sessions. She gave me lots of space to talk out my troubles and gave me gentle guidance. I would recommend Maita to someone seeking kind therapy.
Warm and understanding!
She's fab. I love her and couldn't have gotten through the last two years without her guidance, insight, and support. Five stars!
Maita is a very knowledgeable and kind therapist. I really appreciated her listening skills and gentle guidence during our sessions. She also provided "homework" (optional!) that I could use during the week to help me understand my situation. I highly recommend her.
I am grateful for Maita Marks' work with me. I have a lot of emotionally challenging history and we have only a short time to work together. So we've been able to quickly narrow down to what it is I do need now and work on that. This has been just right because I feel supported and that has helped me get through an otherwise really tough time. Soon I'll be able to go back to the counselor I am accustomed to and then I can go back to some of that historical work as is appropriate.
I am so thankful to have found Maita! She's been such a help to me while I've been navigating a hard year. She's provided helpful feedback and ways to work on self coping. I look forward to our sessions because it puts a smile on my face! :)
Maita is warm, kind, funny, and understanding. She challenges me and prioritizes the issues I have brought up to her through various therapeutic techniques. I would highly recommend Maita to anyone seeking an experienced and professional therapist.
She is empathetic and compassionate. Love that.
Maita is very friendly and positive. She is an easy person to talk and relate to. So far she seems non judgemental and kind
Maita is so wonderful! I leave my sessions feeling empowered, confident, and ready to take on the day. She is so patient and helps me with my boundaries. Thank you so much.
