Compassionate virtual counseling for adults across Pennsylvania
“You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step”
– Martin Luther King
Reaching out for help can be hard, especially when life starts to feel heavy or overwhelming—but you don’t have to go through it alone. Therapy is a space to slow down, feel understood, and begin to move through life’s challenges and changes with clarity and confidence. With support, change is possible.
About Me
Welcome! My name is Ann Marie Galioto, and I’m glad you’re here. My professional path has been somewhat unconventional. I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Mass Communication from Boston University, followed by a Ph.D. in Microbiology and Molecular Virology from Thomas Jefferson University. After years of working in scientific and communication-based fields, a growing interest in human behavior, emotional wellbeing, and connection led me to pursue counseling. I later earned a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Delaware Valley University and am now a licensed professional counselor.
My approach to therapy is collaborative and individualized, shaped by each client’s goals, strengths, and values. I use an integrative, evidence-based framework that supports insight, growth, and lasting change. I strive to offer a compassionate, validating space where clients can process their experiences, build resilience, and move forward in ways that feel meaningful and aligned with their values.

How I Can Support You
Many people come to counseling to better navigate life’s challenges and strengthen their sense of balance and confidence. I work with clients on issues such as:
Anxiety
Women's issues
Self-esteem and self-confidence
Life transitions
Career guidance and professional growth
Grief and loss
I have a particular affinity for supporting individuals who are grieving the loss of a beloved pet. Having shared my life with many animal companions, I understand how deep these bonds can be—and how profound the grief can be when they are gone.
Not in-network? I can provide a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement.
Individual session (out-of-pocket): $115

Good Faith Estimate & No Surprises Act
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your health care will cost.
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance to pay for health care items and services an estimate of their bill for health care items and services before those items or services are provided.
- You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency health care items or services upon request or when scheduling such items or services.
- If you schedule a health care item or service at least 3 business days in advance, make sure your health care provider or facility gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing within 1 business day after scheduling.
- If you schedule a health care item or service at least 10 business days in advance, make sure your health care provider or facility gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing within 3 business days after scheduling.
- You can also ask your health care provider or facility for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service. If you do, make sure the health care provider or facility gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing within 3 business days after you ask.
- If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more for any provider or facility than your Good Faith Estimate from that provider or facility, you can dispute the bill.
- Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
