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.

Working with Linda has been absolutely wonderful. She has a way of taking things that interest me, and using them to help me better understand myself and ways for me to cope with my stress and anxiety. She is such a warm and understanding person. I always look forward to our sessions, and I leave each session feeling accomplished and encouraged. I couldn't ask for a better therapist.

Linda has been wonderful. She always seems to be able to bring up points that I had not thought about. She is helping me make some very tough decisions. I feel like I have known her longer then I have. I feel like she understands and truly cares.

Linda has been a light in my previously dark world. Her insights are always accurate, reasonable and helpful. She asks the right follow up questions to come to an educated answer or opinion, and she has been incredibly supportive of my goals. Would recommend her to anyone trying to make big changes in their life.

She is kind and compassionate

Reviewed August 2022

Kind, patient, professional, understanding, intuitive, trustworthy and makes me feel safe to share my true emotions. It has been very hard for me to open up in the past but with Linda, I've made good progress in communication and it has helped me and my thought process tremendously. I feel confident in my therapists expertise and I know I am never judged poorly and I can recognize my progress each week.

Reviewed August 2022

I truly appreciate all the encouragement and support Miss Linda offers, but in addition to that she has helped me to have insight of my situation and struggles. The combination of her professionalism and kind, warm, personal approach has completely changed the way I view therapy.

Reviewed May 2022

I'm thankful to have her to talk to. She's helped me get through problem after problem and has been very comforting.

Reviewed May 2022

I have met with Linda twice and I feel like I should be paying way more for each visit because she is truly amazing. I am so grateful for each session because after each one I have felt inspired and empowered. I hope to have the opportunity to continue meeting with her weekly. I have suggested this app to pretty much every person that I have spoken to since I have started using it. Thank you, if it wasn't for this app and having someone like Linda to talk with I doubt that I would have ever pursued therapy.
