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.

I cannot say enough good things about Linda. She is so kind and super helpful. She is super authentic which I highly appreciate. I had my doubts downloading this app but Linda was the best choice for me. I commend whoever hired her for this app and picked her for me. She’s so passionate about her therapy career and it shows! Her genuine heart and empathetic ear have been such a gift. I cannot say enough good things about her. Thank you whoever sent Linda my way and a warm thank you to Linda. She truly is so so friendly and is so great at what she does. I am new to the LGBT community and she’s helped me feel so much more comfortable about it than I originally was. Highly recommend!
Linda and I had a great initial consultation. We created a great connection immediately.
Linda is incredible! Her advise and insights are always reassuring and realistic. You can tell when talking with her that she genuinely cares about the work she does, and is good at it too.
