More about Mariama
- 14 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I spent 14 years in public schools as a nationally certified school counselor, working with young people and families navigating everything from academic stress to trauma and family upheaval. That experience taught me how to recognize each person's unique strengths and meet them where they are. Now, as a Licensed Professional Counselor and Approved Clinical Supervisor, I bring that same collaborative, strengths-based approach to my individual counseling practice. I work with children, teenagers, young adults, and adults across a wide range of challenges—anxiety, relationship issues, anger management, adoption-related concerns, trauma, career transitions, and more. I primarily use solution-focused and cognitive behavioral approaches, always grounded in respect and genuine partnership. My goal is to create a supportive space where you feel heard and equipped with practical tools to move toward the life you want.

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.
