More about Bearlyn

Welcome!

I am a National Certified Counselor (NCC), a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), a Clinical Certified TeleMental Health Professional (CTMH) and I hold a doctorate in Counselor Education and Supervision (EdD) with over 20 years of experience in counseling individuals, couples, families and adolescents.

My counseling style is compassionate, warm, empathetic and behaviorally focused. I tailor my sessions based on the needs of my client, utilizing a collaborative approach to therapy. I also understand how personal and sometimes overwhelming the therapeutic process can be. However, I am here to help guide you in your journey to mental wellness.

Thank you for considering me to help you reach your goals in this therapeutic process.

Please check my schedule and let me know if you do not see a time of day that works for you. I may be able to open a slot. Initial sessions are 30 minutes for information gathering. After which we can determine if the sessions will be 30 or 45 minutes.

I look forward to working with you.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
