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.

Awesome person
Linda is kind, compassionate, a great listener, and a fabulous problem solver. Whatever situation I need help with - work relationships, personal relationships, or personal growth - Linda listens and gets to the bottom of the challenge and provides the tools and wisdom to help me work through it.
Linda has been very understanding with my recent trauma and feelings that have ensued. She has taught me some coping techniques and overall I feel like I am better able to function in spite of some horrible things that have happened recently.
She was so understanding and thoughtful! Gave me the tools to help me help myself!
