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.

Lydia is compassionate encouraging and helps explore feelings and emotions she’s a beautiful soul
She’s fantastic
Thank you so much Lydia for your kindness and compassion during our sessions. It's been great to discuss my chronic pain and feelings with such an engaging, thoughtful and resourceful therapist. I highly recommend Lydia and I'm so glad I had the opportunity to work with her. She provided me with very helpful suggestions and ways to reframe my perspectives. She also checked in with me between sessions to see how I was getting on with my homework. Highly recommend.
Lydia has supported and helped me understand my tendencies and given me tools to continually improve myself. She listens and gives non-judgmental feedback. I would recommend this service and her to anyone needing support.
Lydia is approachable and productive! I struggle to open up with people but she’s so open but constructive and I can’t rate her enough to her patience kindness and non judge mental approach. Such an encouraging personality! She’s exactly what’s needed when feeling so vulnerable
Very caring and reliable therapist. I love how she checks in to see how you’re doing. She gives realistic solutions and helps you figure out next steps in tackling challenges.
Attentive therapist that always tries to look deeper
