Larry has proven to be very thoughtful, considerate and God led in our sessions. During our first session he listened and immediately begin to encourgae me to pray and fast more during this season of my life. Not knowing what to expect when I originally signed up, I was comforted in the fact that I believed my therapist would be God led and that meant the world to me.

I was hesitant on whether or not I wanted to go into therapy or not given my “independent” nature. However I knew from my first session with Larry that I had made the right decision. He offers unbiased clarity to any scenario you throw at him and offers solutions tailored to the issue. I would absolutely recommend Mr.Bell’s services to friends, family or anyone else!

If you are looking for a pair of ear to listen to you, who will not judge, Larry is the right person to come to.
He is helpful, respectful, and mindful in his replies. Trying to listen from my perspective, and asking questions which are relevant to my thoughts and problems.
He tries to get into the root of problem, and gives advices.
Larry has been a great listener and advisor. It feels amazing when you can share the burden you have to someone professional who can help you lighten and make an understanding of your burden.
This is my first time consulting online, or consulting about my mental health for that matter, but I had a good experience that I would definitely do this again if finances were not a problem.
Thank you so much, Larry.

This counseling with Larry has been like a touchstone. Traditional counseling one on one has been helpful but when you have someone there online that you can vent how you feel and get a response without waiting 2 weeks to see the counselor again is so incredibly helpful! I’ve had more insight in a few weeks then I would meeting my counselor every two weeks for a month! So thankful for this and I’ll recommend using online therapy to my friends. Some have a hard time going to an appointment and discussing issues. This is a great way for
People to start figuring out issues when they’re thinking about them instead of saving up those feelings for your hour appt every 2 weeks. Larry, thank you! You’ve been very helpful so far and I appreciate it so much!
