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.

Lynda has been a huge help to me as I deal with a lot of life changes. I have a fear of talking on the phone so most of our sessions were live chat but she has made me feel comfortable enough now that we do phone sessions. She usually responds quickly to messages, which is great because I’m going through a lot and need feedback.

Lynda is my second therapist ever. As I switched from a therapist who wasn’t meeting my needs prior. She has such a wonderful energy and her support to me, is beyond appreciated.

Lynda has made it easy and comfortable to get back into regular therapy sessions. She takes great notes, or has an excellent memory, or both - we can always pick up where we left off and that is comforting and familiar.

Lynda has been so wonderful, we have only had a few sessions but I feel so heard. Lynda provides a lot of insight and different perspective to the issues I have been facing. Lynda has also made me feel very comfortable and validated when discussing my sexuality as I have come out later in life, which was very important to me when looking for a therapist.
