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.

Very friendly, professional, makes this easier to handle and accept.
She’s the best!
Mary McLaggan has made me feel heard and validated. While supporting my road to be a healthier way of living. I feel at ease after our sessions.
By just our second session Mary has managed to help me tremendously for working with and getting a handle of my ADHD to focus on the things that are important in my life, and get those things done! Thank you so much Mary! Having you in my life is a blessing!!!
So far I feel better just knowing I can talk about my problems and look for solutions.
Mary is the first person who I felt really saw me and understood me in my struggle with ADHD. It was a game changer to be taken seriously.
I had a great experience with Jane, she listened to me while I was going through a tough time separating from the father of my kids. She helped me cope with moving on and gave me the confidence to leave.
She’s very respectful, listens to your problems, makes you realize you aren’t alone.
Amazing insight as well as a truly gifted listener. Helping me make changes without judgement 10/10 Recommend
