Kristina Peck
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
I am a seasoned therapist bringing the tools, care, and connection of in-person therapy straight to your screen. With years of experience and a knack for creating a warm, confidential space (even virtually!), I help clients navigate life’s challenges with skill and compassion.
I specialize in mindfulness-based approaches to help you slow down, breathe, and reconnect with what matters. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just need someone to talk to who truly listens—I’m here.
Online therapy doesn't have to feel distant. I bring the same grounded presence, professionalism, and effective tools you'd get in my office—just with a bit more Wi-Fi. Let’s meet where you are (literally and emotionally) and get started.

Hi, I'm Jenn. From a variety of my own experiences & challenges over the years, I've learned firsthand how stressful & overwhelming life can be - especially during forced or unexpected changes such as moving, starting college, getting a promotion, or facing an unexpected loss of any kind. If you find yourself feeling stuck, burnt-out, frequently questioning yourself with imposter syndrome, & striving for perfection in ways that impact your school/work, relationships, & everyday realities: I want you to know you are capable of finding relief in ways beyond what you might initially believe. My personalized, trauma-informed approaches have supported numerous individuals in leading more fulfilling, balanced lives.

Karla Lawrence
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC, BC-TMH, CPC
Hello, my name is Karla Lawrence, and I run a distance (online) counseling and coaching practice for adult individuals in Maryland. I specialize in self-care, anxiety, depression, codependency, stress and burnout recovery counseling for compassionate women & soulful introverts.
While online (tele-therapy) is not the right choice for everyone, in many cases it can be just as effective as in-person therapy. You can easily schedule an appointment during your work day, at home, or after you've put the kids to bed. You can save money and time while still making your mental/emotional health a priority. If you identify as a people pleaser, “nice” girl/guy/person, introverted, shy, and/or highly sensitive person in Maryland, I would love to help.

Dr. Brian M. Berman
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Teletherapy, also known as online therapy or telehealth, offers numerous benefits and advantages for both therapists and clients. Teletherapy breaks down geographical barriers, allowing clients to access mental health services regardless of their location. This can be especially beneficial for individuals living in rural areas or areas with limited access to mental health resources. Teletherapy also offers convenience, as sessions can be conducted from the comfort of the client's home or any other location with internet access. This eliminates the need for travel time, transportation costs, and scheduling conflicts, making therapy more accessible and manageable for busy individuals.
