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.

Linda has helped me so much in the past few years. I used to be too emotional and lack self awareness. I would get caught up in how I feel instead of stepping back and looking at the facts. Linda has helped me find a way to express my emotions through writing them down. I have found this technique helps me understand how I feel.

I really like Linda. She is very supportive and steers me in the correct direction. In general she is a very charitable person. She incorporates that through therapy by encouraging her clients to be the best version of their selfs as a key to happiness. She always praises the progress you have made on reaching your goals.

I love Linda. At first I thought our age gap would get in the way of her understanding where I’m at in life and my perspective. Instead it has provided wisdom and shed a better light on the situations. She is mature and teaching me the mature ways to handle situations. She never judges me she just asks me how I could think about it or handle the situation in a better way to make me happier. She is teaching me compassion and understanding for myself and others. She is teaching me to focus on reality instead of the nerve wrecking what if scenarios. She is helping me to grow as a person.
