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.

Dr. Mar has been very helpful in providing actionable skills to help deal with and cope with anxiety or negative thoughts. He was very easy to work with and would highly recommend.
I have had many therapists that were helpful. I am at a loss for words with how impressed and grateful I am for my sessions with Dr. Mar. If you are willing to share openly and honestly you will benefit greatly from his experience and expertise. I will continue therapy on an ongoing basis because I want to grow in my response to difficult situations and circumstances. I am gaining understanding and resolving issues that are surfacing because of our discussions that usually start based on my previous weeks experiences. I appreciate how he helps me to come to my own understanding by asking questions and educating me about the science and medical statistics. He is punctual and genuine. I highly recommend Dr. Mar.
