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.
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, 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.

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.
