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.

A listening ear with gentle guidance.
Wonderful therapist and is very easy to open up to
Ms. Lynn has been great. She was my first therapy experience and she helped reshape my view on therapy. It feels more like a refreshing conversation more than anything else. 1000% recommend
Super kind and great at listening, i feel comfortable talking to her and letting her teach me how to better myself.
I've only had one session with Lynn so far, but she is the absolute sweetest. So considerate and such a great listener. I can't wait for our next session!
So far I absolutely love Martha. It has only been almost 4 weeks so far. I plan on continuing to see her and highly recommend anyone else to see her. This is my first time and I am so glad it was with Martha.
Martha is an amazing therapist. She really listens, and remembers things about me. I don’t feel like just another counseling session for her
Ms. Lynne is the best. She listens well and always has the best resources for you. I would recommend her to anyone.
In only one session Martha has shown immense kindness and understanding. Sharing with Martha is like talking with your kindest, smartest, wisest, funniest friend. The interaction does not feel clinical at all yet it is very eye-opening. Very thankful for Martha!
I was feeling pretty low and once I started therapy with Martha Lynne Kilgore she helped me see what I needed to do to make things change in my life. The worksheets she gives me helps me with ideas that I can apply to my life.
Lynne is a good listener and easy to talk to which I needed. Very calming and soft spoken.
I'm very happy with my therapist. Would definitely recommend her to anyone.
Thanks for making it easy to get help.
I’m fairly new with Martha but so far she has helped me to feel safe in sharing my experiences, and deep dive into why I am the way I am. Starting from childhood. I would recommend her to anyone!
She is amazing
Very kind and professional. Really great listener which I value a lot and she doesn't make me feel crazy
Love her. 10/10. Very kind, very compassionate, very engaged.
Wonderful experience.
I love my therapist, Ms. Kilgore, she is always very understanding and seems like an easy going person. She is always on time for sessions and I always makes sure I get the most out of the 30-45 mins I spend talking to her.
Lynne’s kind spirit is what sets her apart from others in my opinion. She’s very attentive and advising. I absolutely feel like I could discuss anything with her. I feel like she truly listens.
Lynn is kind, caring, and professional. I felt like she really listened to me.
