I just started therapy (as a whole concept) and while I have had a few introductory sessions with other therapist, I found that connecting with Lina was easy and natural. She is a great listener and waits until I’m done with my thought and then takes a moment to process and provides gentle, yet direct feedback. She’s helped me with breathing exercises to calm myself and return to the moment. I would recommend her highly.

I signed up for BetterHealth to ensure I was maintaining a healthy mental state and to get some healthy coping tools, and in just 2 months Lina has helped me gain the confidence to handle difficult situations and even self-judgement. Lina is kind, responsive, and personable, and her reminders to always be present in all aspects of my life is now always at the back of my mind when I start to feel a little overwhelmed.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Lina has been such a huge help in my process of healing. She is able to take my mess of thoughts and feelings swirling through my head and find the core, asking me the questions i need etc. She’s patient and radiates so much compassion. Even when i go MIA she kept checking up on me encouraging me to get back to sessions and when i was ready.
