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.

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.
