About online counseling

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.

It’s early on in out therapy but Linda is easy to talk to and is a straight shooter

Reviewed January 2024

Linda is amazing, exactly the "perfect calm" I needed during a perfect storm of professional, personal and mental crisis events converging all in a matter of weeks. Linda not only reinforced my existing coping mechanisms but offered new options and inside that immediately reset my mindset and fostered the self confidence I needed to address each incident and/or concern I expressed in our first meeting and elevated with every session we had. THANK YOU LINDA and Better Help. I don't feel i am at 100%, but I can see a path there with continued support from Linda!
