I was worried about connecting with a therapist online and from my first session Marta has been amazing! She truly listens and is focused on me during our session. Marta is so warm and caring. Her feedback and suggestions of things to try have already helped so much after just two sessions. I highly recommend Marta!

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.

An absolute angel on Earth
Marta is one of the most calm and caring individuals I have met. Her energy is always very positive and she is the embodiment of unconditional positive regard for her clients. She made me feel very safe and was able to create space for me to be vulnerable and talk about my problems. She is a wonderful listener and I am very thankful to have been matched with her - we did amazing work together. I highly recommend her. Thank you Marta!
Marta is wonderful because she is kind and very patient and an excellent listener. Her energy as a therapist really helps me tease out my problems and process my stuff in a way that feels safe and productive. I am really glad I found her.
Marta is an amazing therapist. What stands out to me the most is her kind heart and patience she shows the client but also the therapy process as a whole. She is a really great listener and I believe she is a wonderful therapist to me. I am so thankful to have been matched with her and continue to work with her in the future.
