More about Maris
- 4 years' experience

- LISW
I have been working as a therapist and case manager for teens and young adult for the last 4 years in Ohio! I focus on talk therapy and believe that a healthy relationship with oneself can be the foundation of healing. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression and self-harm. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion as I think a strong therapeutic relationship can facilitate growth. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy takes courage and vulnerability and I am proud of 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.
