My husband and I have only had three sessions with Dr. L so far, but we’re already starting to see progress in how we communicate and appreciate each other. She’s helping us be more open to each other’s perspectives and approach challenges in a more team-oriented way. We’re excited to continue working with her and feel hopeful about the positive changes we’re beginning to experience in our relationship.

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.

Love Dr Legner
Excellent therapist! Listens intently and provides wonderful tools and feedback to help.
I needed support primarily with anxiety management & other health/life areas. Dr. Legner has been a compassionate, caring & insightful guide in helping me learn about my experiences & finding different pathways through them for nearly a year. I've gained a lot of new information from Dr. Legner that I didn't know I needed about how the human mind, behaviour, and other aspects of being human works. We worked primarily with ACT & mindfulness including developing thought-awareness. Whenever I asked questions about medical or other health-related things I did not know about, she would explain and offered resources I could use as needed. I deeply appreciate her willingness to explain information so I could understand & her compassion in witnessing. Dr. Legner holds a kind, compassionate listening space & made me feel willing to step into new points of awareness without compromising safety & care at any point. I've received on many occasions, highly actionable, clear & evidence-based recommendations that I'm still putting into use. I highly recommend Dr. Legner.
My experience with Dr. Legner has been positive so far. She is highly skilled and has offered a variety of interventions for me to try to help with my depression and anxiety. She is calm and present and listens to me. I also like that she challenges me to consider my thinking.
Very helpful
Dr. Legner has been a game changer for me. So many things that didn’t make sense in my life have honestly started to come together for me and she has been an absolute godsend. So thankful for her.
Dr. Legner is so good. From the second we started our sessions I felt extremely comfortable with her. The skills she provided me have also helped tremendously. I wish I had found her sooner.
Thank you!

It has almost been a year since I've had my therapist. She listens to every concern and gives many ways for me to cope with my high anxiety and depression. I have still ways to go but I wouldn't want anyone else to help me. I'm ever so grateful.
Dr. Legner is so kind and knowledgeable. She has an aura that is immediately calming and made me feel safe to share what I was going through. She provided me with great worksheets to better help my understanding of certain situations and resolutions and for my own self-improvement as well. I am very grateful to have met Dr. Legner.
