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.

Mary is very kind and respectful. She has already helped me immensely during our few sessions
Mary has been amazing to work with and she has helped me through so many challenges over the past few years. I don’t think I’d be where I am today without her.
Mary is friendly, kind and supportive . Mary offers information and clarification when I ask her for her opinion.. I feel comfortable relating situations that I need to discuss..
I really appreciate the third party insight as well as the capability.
Mary is communicative, thoughtful, and very helpful!
So far, she has helped me to view things in another way and has also helped me to understand that I'm my own individual and the traumas and negative experiences are not currently happening, so try to be more mindful and stay in the moment
Mary clifford, though I have only been back a short time has been extra attentive. Answering text through out the day as i can safely interact (truck driver). And as long as she is taking care of her self and home life in a healthy manner, i am perfectly content.
Mary is great. The feedback she provides shows that she really listens.
Mary has been incredible in helping me navigate a very difficult year. She helps me see things in a different perspective and helps me remember things I’ve learned in the past that I’ve forgotten at the moment I’m not doing well. Ive noticed drastic improvement in my mental health since having Mary as my therapist.
Mary is very compassionate and experienced. She is comforting to talk to. She is a great guide through mental health challenges and I enjoy working with her.
Mary is so polite and sweet and a wonderful listener. I instantly felt comfortable with her and I would recommend her to anyone :)
very professional, considerate.
Mary is really amazing I love working with her she helps me so much
Mary is an excellent therapist and mental health coach! She is very patient and understanding but also very experienced with the advice she gives to problem solving and coping with stress.
She is a wonderful provider who is there when you need someone to talk to.
Mary has been great. She listens to what I’m feeling along with any concerns. If I haven’t contacted her in a while she sends me a message to check on me and see how I am doing. Mary has gone above and beyond what I expected.
Mary is great! We connected from our very first session, and she has helped me immensely.
Very easy to talk to
I loved how my therapist was able to validate my feelings and situation and help me come up with strategies/interventions to help handle issues.
I really enjoyed Mary’s gifts with therapy.
Mary Clifford is awesome
I have only had one session with my therapist and I think that as of now she is very professional and has my best interest and objectives in mind as far as the therapy client relationship is concerned, I am not a individual that doles out 10s in a 1 to 10 so an 8 is exceptional
Mary is simply the best. She is always available at the drop of a dime to answer any questions or to help you through any situation. She’s been my one and only therapist on this platform and I couldn’t think of any other person I’d rather have in my corner than Mary. She’s the best of the best
Mary was easy to talk to, understanding, and engaging. I really found her insights helpful and her perspective is invaluable.
Mary is very understanding and made me feel comfortable immediately. Looking forward to seeing her more.
Thank you for everything. You were really nice and good to talk to.
Really easy to chat with. I feel confident to chat.
Mary is so sweet and a good talker, I always feel very comfortable sharing with her.
Responsive. Respectfully. Helpful
She listens and is very relatable, tries to help me see things more than one way. She also offers suggestions and steps to take for different issues.
Stellar!
Very responsive to messaging between appointments. Very easy to talk to.
Mary is very affirming in her counsel. I feel heard, and supported in her personal recommendations.
I’m appreciative that Mary is thoughtful, kind and timely with her responses.
Whether I talk the whole time or just feel like listening to suggestions, Mary, makes me feel heard.
