About online counseling

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.

super great
Linda is a wonderful resource for anyone seeking a kind therapist who also isn’t afraid to open your eyes and work through hard things.
Linda does a great job listening without judgement and she provides great suggestions and asks excellent questions.
Working with Linda has been absolutely wonderful. She has a way of taking things that interest me, and using them to help me better understand myself and ways for me to cope with my stress and anxiety. She is such a warm and understanding person. I always look forward to our sessions, and I leave each session feeling accomplished and encouraged. I couldn't ask for a better therapist.
Linda has been wonderful. She always seems to be able to bring up points that I had not thought about. She is helping me make some very tough decisions. I feel like I have known her longer then I have. I feel like she understands and truly cares.
Linda has been a light in my previously dark world. Her insights are always accurate, reasonable and helpful. She asks the right follow up questions to come to an educated answer or opinion, and she has been incredibly supportive of my goals. Would recommend her to anyone trying to make big changes in their life.
She is kind and compassionate
Kind, patient, professional, understanding, intuitive, trustworthy and makes me feel safe to share my true emotions. It has been very hard for me to open up in the past but with Linda, I've made good progress in communication and it has helped me and my thought process tremendously. I feel confident in my therapists expertise and I know I am never judged poorly and I can recognize my progress each week.
I truly appreciate all the encouragement and support Miss Linda offers, but in addition to that she has helped me to have insight of my situation and struggles. The combination of her professionalism and kind, warm, personal approach has completely changed the way I view therapy.
I'm thankful to have her to talk to. She's helped me get through problem after problem and has been very comforting.
I have met with Linda twice and I feel like I should be paying way more for each visit because she is truly amazing. I am so grateful for each session because after each one I have felt inspired and empowered. I hope to have the opportunity to continue meeting with her weekly. I have suggested this app to pretty much every person that I have spoken to since I have started using it. Thank you, if it wasn't for this app and having someone like Linda to talk with I doubt that I would have ever pursued therapy.
