Common Questions
Online therapy — FAQs
How does online therapy work?
Sessions take place via Zoom. You'll receive a secure link before each appointment. All you need is a device with a camera and microphone, and a private space where you won't be overheard. Sessions are 50 minutes, the same as in-person.
Is online therapy as effective as in-person?
Yes. A substantial body of research shows that online therapy is equally effective as face-to-face for most presentations, including anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD and relationship difficulties. Many clients actually prefer it.
Is online therapy suitable for neurodivergent people?
Often more so. Many ADHD and autistic clients find online therapy easier — they can be in their own environment, avoid the sensory and executive demands of travel, and feel more at ease. Maria is experienced in adapting her approach for neurodivergent clients online.
