During our couple brief sessions I have found Linda to be quite charming and accessible. She is doing a good job and getting me pumped to get better in life overall. She also seems to be genuinely concerned about both my mental and physical health which is huge for me.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Linda has been just the counselor I needed. From our very first appointment she validated my concerns. She listens intently as I share a new thought or question I have. Then she shares her insight, by mirroring back to me what I said. I have definitely seen changes I am making in my life. I would highly recommend her to my friends & family. Thank you Linda.
