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, 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've been seeing Malinda for over a month and it's been a great experience. This is my first time in therapy so I wasn't sure what to expect, she had done a great job making me feel comfortable talking about difficult things and working through them. I'm looking forward to continue growing and healing as we continue to work together.

I could not be happier with Malinda and fact I had her as my therapist. She is wonderful! Initially I have joined better help to help my anxiety, panic attacks and depression. Malinda always responded to my messages full of panic in quick manner and always offered support. During live session I have always felt safe, supported and listened to. She gave me homework to do which was amazing as it gave me sense of doing something "physical" to help my mental health and offered variety of sources to read and look through. Additionally she is incredibly respectful of me and my feelings and never pushes her own opinions. Instead she professionally and gently guided me through this journey to make my own conclusions and realisations! I also really appreciate her excellent sense of humour and sessions did not felt "stale, formal or intimidating" which made me look forward to them even more weekly. Being able to message her during my panic attacks helped me immensely! Not only she helped me to conquer my anxiety, depression and panic which I signed up for in the first place, but she guided me through my old deep traumas I suppressed for such a long time and that caused these anxiety and depression. I am a better person thanks to her not only mental health issues wise, but I feel more prepared to tackle future issues as they come, live my life, love myself and be kind to myself! Without a doubt if I will come back to this app or therapy, it will be Malinda!

Malinda has helped me not just to know that I'll be OK, but to really believe it. I was reluctant to return to therapy after having had some questionable experiences with it. With Malinda, I never questioned going to therapy. She is organized and knows how to make the most of the BetterHelp platform, so I always felt like I got what I needed out of each session, and more. Thank you, Malinda, for helping me through a tough time!

From the “Old Soul” I am so grateful I found Malinda. I’m glad she was the one that guided and supported me during my healing journey. I always felt heard and comfortable to be vulnerable and share the most personal details. I could never thank her enough. The person I am today, someone I’m proud of, wouldn’t have been a reality if it wasn’t for her. I wish her the best and that she continue to touch people’s lives the way she did with me.
