New to Linda Smiley but overall she's helped me tremendously by just being a great listener. I feel like there's no judgement, she asked me if I'd like advice on some things instead of just assuming I want her to fix it. She guides me with questions and overall very polite and respectful.

Linda is amazing. She keeps me in check. We work great together. She holds me accountable to me goals each week and she doesn’t let me get on my BS. I wish I’d met her sooner. She is exactly who I needed.

My first session with Ms. Linda was wonderful. She was very attentive and allowed me to get some stuff off of my chest. I felt wonderful to talk to someone without being judged for your actions. She is so sweet and great to talk to.

She’s insightful and empathetic. I was able to see how to work through grief and loss in the few sessions I had and get back on my feet. Would highly recommend if you’re looking for someone to respectfully, tactfully challenge your perspective in helping you process difficult emotions and move on in a positive frame of reference.

Linda is the second therapist I tried with Better Help. The first was not a good fit for me. Linda is the perfect fit for me. She understands my issues, offers advice and expertise while pushing me to find the answers within myself. She gives me homework after each session that requires me to spend days internally reflecting on what it is that is important to me and how I can reach my goals. She accepts my faith and is willing to allow God to use her to reach me. She checks in with me mid-week to make sure I'm doing ok and working on my homework. I truly feel like God sent her to me when I was finally willing to seek therapy after many years of knowing I needed it.

Linda is fabulous, and I highly recommend her to anyone needing help.

Amazing counselor. She listened very well. and after not having the best interactions with 2 other counselors, before our first session, we had pretty much a mini session without the live chat. I felt heard and understood during all my sessions.
