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.

I had another therapist through BH before Ken and while she was nice I must say Ken is in another league. He is proactive with identifying root problems like childhood trauma and how to address it, sends materials with worksheet assignments, checks in by text regularly even on weekends, and is incredibly empathetic. He takes notes and really invests himself in your well being. I am incredibly grateful to him on my journey to improving myself and how I approach relationships. As a queer, minority woman I wasn’t sure I’d be comfortable with a male therapist but he goes above and beyond to both gently point out areas that may be contributing to my situation and also make me feel empowered to improve myself. He’s also flexible with scheduling and allows bi-monthly hour long sessions. Thank you Ken, you’ve given me a lot of hope regardless of what happens next for me in life.

Kenneth Lingle is admittedly my first experience with a therapist, but his compassion and professional manner was definitely everything I had hoped for. His approach is steady, slow enough to make certain he understands what problems you're dealing with and your feelings on the matter. But he is also firm, assigning achievable homework goals to ensure I continue to improve, no matter how tempting complacency can be. I can't say if he's the best of the best considering my own inexperience, but I'd definitely recommend him for anyone new to counseling. A fantastic example of a great first impression.
