Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Marikay has been an absolute Godsend for me. She’s compassionate, caring, empathetic and helpful in a way I didn’t think counselors/therapists could be. She changed my way of thinking and is helping me to believe I am worthy and capable. She’s changed my life in the best way!!
I have only been in one session with her and I already feel like I can connect with her very well. She's amazing.
