Linda listens to me and replies in a kind manner. I’m very happy to change to her after my experience with Brightheart health. Linda helped to make things better w them just by listening to me and making me feel like opinion mattered to her. Maybe she didn’t make me feel any way and I just wanted to feel that way cause I choose to? Who knows!?! Psychologically I’m a little off my rocker! Or too overly savvy about my behavior?!

I enjoy talking to Linda. I realize that she is acting within the scope of a therapist/client relationship, but that really isn't in the forefront of my mind when we are talking. She also provides interesting materials at my request for me to consider outside of our sessions.

I was quite nervous about starting counseling, but Linda just makes space fit what I needed given how I am feeling. She listens first, and that is just a gift.

Linda is a great lady! I ended up getting a new counselor just because we weren’t a great fit but she is very sweet and has a lot of knowledge about what she’s talking about.

Linda helped me through a tough family situation. Talking with her over the last two months has helped me trust myself and taught me so much about family dynamics. I appreciate her kindness and patience.

I have been in counseling with Linda pretty much weekly for the past three months and it has been tremendously helpful. I can get really wordy but Linda was very empathetic and listened to me and really helped me organize my thoughts and emotions. She is very knowledgeable about many subjects and we were able to discuss everything from my shaky childhood to faith. I struggle with a lot of family and trauma induced anxiety and addictions and Linda really helped me put a lot things into a healthy perspective. Thank you Linda.

Absolutely real. Raw. Without judgment. And kind.

This was my first experience with any form of counseling and, at the risk of sounding like a paid testimonial, BetterHelp made it so easy! The entire process was simple and working with Linda was more than I could have ever hoped for. She was kind, empathetic, and allowed me to direct our sessions. Honestly, I felt like she totally understood where I was coming from. Everyone should feel like they have someone to talk to and everyone should feel heard. If it weren't for my current financial situation I would be continuing my sessions. Without a doubt. I am a huge advocate for counseling and BetterHelp made it that much easier to get started. 10/10 would recommend. I had such an enjoyable experience. Thanks for pulling back the curtain and showing me the possibilities!

I had my reservations about joining BetterHelp, however the experience has been exceptional. Linda has been very knowledgeable and the appointments fit my schedule perfectly. I love that I know I can message at any time if needed and look forward to having our weekly appointments. I have visited traditional office style services in the past with very little luck in helping and large bills to pay. BetterHelp takes the pressure off. I want to thank BetterHelp and Linda for the services provided to me.

Linda is doing a wonderful job, I’m having a hard time explaining what my issues are, so she listens patiently and then asks questions to clarify. It’s helpful for me to get everything out and then sort it out, which she’s fantastic at doing.

So far, Linda has been great. She lets me work in my own time without pushing. She is kind and seems to really have heart to help people. I’m so blessed we were matched.

I didn't have the slightest idea how online counseling would be but I don't have a lot of money and the mental health services here seem to be in a bit of disarray currently so I decided to check you all out. I really liked being able to choose my own counselor. I picked Linda because she's sorta in my age bracket, is a Christian and has such kind eyes. I chose well. She's a great listener. She's intelligent. She offers ideas but has never insisted I follow up on them unless I want to. I really like how she can untangle my non-productive feelings. I like her sense of humor and I like it that she lives her faith by simply being herself. (I almost didn't check the Christian box, fearing I was going to get lectured or worse). I like it that I am making some positive changes. I like it that I feel excited about life. I think Linda has had an incredible impact on me.
