Therapy that fits a Maryland schedule

Between long commutes, demanding jobs, and family logistics, the drive to a therapist’s office is often the very thing that keeps people from starting. Online therapy removes that barrier: you meet by secure, HIPAA-compliant video from home, your office, or anywhere private, and the session starts on time.

Maryland clients work with Heather Dick, LCSW, founder of Mana Life Counseling, a Certified Substance Abuse Professional (SAP), and a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC) with more than 20 years of clinical experience. She holds a full Maryland license alongside her Virginia, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey licenses.

What Maryland clients come to us for

Anxiety that won't switch off: worry, panic, restlessness, burnout
Depression, low motivation, and feeling flat
Alcohol or substance use you'd like to understand or change, guided by a SAP
Couples and family strain: communication, trust, and reconnection
Anger and stress that are costing you at home or at work
Grief, caregiving, and major life changes

Getting started is simple

Call or send the appointment form and we’ll schedule your initial evaluation, a full session to understand your history and goals and shape a plan together. From there, you’ll meet by secure video for 30, 45, or 55 minute sessions at a rhythm that fits your life, with evening-friendly options.

Self-pay rates are $175 for the initial evaluation, then $145, $125, or $100 by session length, identical to our in-person rates. We participate with most commercial insurance companies, so most Maryland clients pay only their insurance cost for sessions.

Maryland CDL and safety-sensitive employees: Heather is also a qualified DOT Substance Abuse Professional. See our DOT/SAP Evaluations page.

We believe knowing the cost up front is part of feeling at ease. Rates are the same whether you meet in person at our State College office or by secure telehealth. These are self-pay rates: we participate with most commercial insurance companies, so many clients pay only their insurance portion for sessions.

Questions people ask

Is online therapy legal if my therapist's office is in another state?

Yes. Licensing laws require your therapist to be licensed both where they practice and where you are located at the time of the session. Heather Dick holds a full Maryland clinical license, so Maryland residents can meet with her by secure video from anywhere in the state.

Who will I work with as a Maryland client?

Maryland clients meet with Heather Dick, LCSW, the founder of Mana Life Counseling, a Certified Substance Abuse Professional (SAP), and a therapist with more than 20 years of experience helping adults, couples, and families.

Do I need to live near a big city to get good care?

Not at all. Whether you’re in Baltimore, the DC suburbs, Western Maryland, or out on the Eastern Shore, sessions happen over the same secure video platform. The quality of your care doesn’t change with your zip code.

How much does online therapy cost in Maryland?

Self-pay rates are $175 for the initial evaluation, then $145 (55 min), $125 (45 min), or $100 (30 min). We participate with most commercial insurance companies, so most clients pay only their insurance cost for sessions. Call 814-933-4622 with payment questions.

What if I split my time between Maryland and another state?
