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.

In the first meeting with Mrs. Benion she helped me realize what I was doing wrong and help me get some of my confidence back. She also set some goals for me the would help me get out of my comfort zone and I’ve been doing my best to do so.

Lyndia is a kind, caring, and compassionate therapist who helped me heal from my childhood trauma. She helped me uncover why I responded in certain ways and how the trauma might still be affecting me. She was a safe place and was always on my side as a survivor. I'm grateful for her expertise and guidance!

I feel very positive about today's session. I am appreciative that Mrs. Lyndia challenges my negative beliefs and is working with me to break destructive habits while developing healthy habits.

She is extremely helpful. She picks up on body language and phrases that help her help me that I don’t even realize I’m doing or using, which helps me be conscientious to changing my thoughts when I feel a certain way.

I started my therapy sessions with Lyndia 1 week ago to navigate a very difficult situation in my life.. She is a patient listener. She has been kind, gentle yet strong in holding space for me to express myself. She has helped me challenge deep beliefs about my self- worth and self-esteem that has helped me feel liberated and strong. I look forward to many more sessions with her. Thank you, Lyndia!

At times, I think it's important to do the things in life that make us a little bit uncomfortable. I wasn't really sure what to expect when signing up for this service; In fact, it felt a little selfish of me to, but Lyndia is teaching me that not having a plan for everything is okay and that taking the time to better understand myself is invaluable. I'm unpacking some difficult moments in my life, and I'm realizing that the point of these sessions is about giving myself the love and support I wish I'd had as a child. The little girl in me would be so proud for having the courage to reach out, to be heard, and to be seen.
