About online counseling

Affordable.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Ed/Ted is an incredible therapist. Even if he doesn’t have many of the life experiences that I’ve had, he listens carefully. He asks clarifying questions. He empowers and teaches me. He encourages me especially since this is something I often need. He does not diminish or minimize my thoughts or feelings. He’s also quite funny! I look forward to therapy because I know I will always find value in the session even though the sessions aren’t the same. I’m really quite grateful for him.

He is a fantastic listener. Whatever you need to say he will help you get to where you need to be to say it. From my first session I felt comfortable with him enough to get right into the thick of the issues right away. He is the best communicator on this app. He checks in weekly if you don’t necessarily need to chat with him right now. And if you do need to chat right now he should respond in 24 hours or less, in my experience it’s been way less. Fantastic guy, two thumbs way up, highly recommended.

I have just started seeing Edward Larkin and this is my first experience with therapy. I was a little hesitant at first since I just didn't know what to expect. He has truly been wonderful. I feel like he listens and understands my concerns. He works with me to find solutions that I can work into my life. Therapy isn't a quick fix, but because of Edward I can finally see a light at the end of the tunnel so to speak.
