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 straight to the point, and honest. Overall I always enjoy my sessions with her
Mary was one of the best therapists I’ve had. I will miss her knowledge, support, and kindness. I cannot say enough about Mary, she is the best. She really pulled me out of a tough space.
Mary does not coddle you. You are reaching out for help and she helps you. She does not waste time fiddling around with how you might feel about her advice or support. So you make progress quickly!
Mary is top notch. She is caring, respectful, and effective. I have worked with Mary weekly for almost a year and have had a great experience. Highly Recommend.
I've only had 4 sessions with Mary, but she has definitely helped me see things differently, which is helping me get through some very difficult times.
Great therapist. She listens and provide great advise
I have had a fantastic time in therapy with Mary so far and I am looking forward to continuing our sessions. She is very helpful and knowledgeable as well as being versatile in her expertise and responsive.
Love her!
Direct, astute, kind, compassionate, has a lot of experience, wisdom, and a great sense of humor.
I have enjoyed my sessions with Mary. She is welcoming and personable, she has a very caring and nurturing way about her. I felt very comfortable opening up to her and speaking honestly with her. She created a safe and caring environment. She's also honest and not afraid to ask tough questions which is exactly what I needed to help me to address my current challenges.
Mary has been great in identifying the primary causes of my issues and is effective in helping me resolve them. She is patient and has creative ways to help me with my concerns. I am doing better with her therapy.
She is very experienced and very knowledgeable about the issues and try to help and support.
Mary has been very helpful. Her approach works well for me.
I have seen many therapists over the years and never really got anything out of going. Mary is unlike any of the other therapists I’ve seen. She is kind, compassionate, and challenges me when I need challenging. If you are looking for a therapist who won’t just coddle you (like I have needed for years), Mary is the person to talk too.
Mary and I never began therapy but all of the times we did communicate prior she was a wonderful support
Mary is great. She listens intently and is great at offering non pressured suggestions.
Very kind, very direct, great suggestions and exercises to work on. She cut to the issues within 10 minutes of talking with me. Miraculous!!! I love working with Mary.
She is so good at getting to the root of my issues. She’s not afraid to give the tough love when needed, but is so incredibly understanding and helpful!
Mary Hafey is understanding and caring. She even took the time to call me outside of an appointment to check on me. I am a very difficult client and do listen to her advice although I am in denial and not good at following it.
