Lynn is a strong, capable therapist who is able to adjust her treatment style to what is most effective for my recovery. She is warm, empathetic, and a terrific listener, and redirects my concentration toward topics and thought patterns that serve my interpersonal growth. I love working with her and am astounded at the progress we have made, as well as the changes in my life that have resulted as a direct impact of our work together—it's been a steep learning curve, but a powerful trajectory of positive growth and healing from issues that I have not been able to adequately address with former therapists in the same way. Lynn's demeanor is understanding and gentle, and gives me assurance that I can make the requisite changes in my life to live out my dreams, and then some.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
