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.

So far from our first session, Mary listens to me and allows me to speak my mind. We have not dug deep into my sessions with her yet, but she is willing to listen first, which is a great start. I am excited about doing the work with her.
Mary Fernandez is wonderful. Her questions and journal entries help me think about situations differently than I see them ; she's kind and caring; her worksheets and assignments are helpful; she communicates clearly; and she knows a great deal about her areas of expertise; love that she uses songs, sometimes, to give a lens for patients to see through. 10/10
Mary has been amazing in helping me learn more about myself, and helping me overcome the obstacles in my life.
Mary is a great therapist in my opinion. She is non-judgemental, easy to talk to and is very caring. I am glad that she and I connected. She helped me through a rough patch in my life and gave me insight and advice that I will follow.
This far she is amazing listens to my concerns and gives the feedback among ways to cope to my concerns.
Miss Fernandez had such an effect on me where it was so easy to speak with her and I shared things with her that I may be only told one or two people in my lifetime she made me feel her Aura is just so calm calming.
Mary is very good at listening and asks amazing questions that really help get to the bottom of things.
She was great!
