About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall

Lindsay is patient, kind and personable. My shoulders always feel lighter after our sessions and she's great at suggesting next actions to work through my emotions or situations so I feel I am progressing.

After just 3 weeks of working with Lindsay I already am in a better place than when I began therapy. She balances listening to me with providing doable, actionable steps that I can take daily. I trusted the reviews I read here that said she is results-oriented and it’s absolutely true! Very empathetic and effective therapist :)

Lindsay is a wonderful therapist. She listens very well, is incredibly insightful, and understands very quickly the heart of issues. It is very easy to talk with Lindsay. I am a person who does not open up easily, and who has trust issues. However, I have been very comfortable opening up to Lindsay, and I trust her implicitly. In addition to being a wonderful therapist, Lindsay is an amazing person - kind, caring, and with such a calm demeanor.

She is a good listener

Lindsey made me feel extremely comfortable and safe to share everything and anything. Her patience and grace was so welcoming and all her tips and advice so helpful.

Linsay takes the time to fully understands what is going on and allows me to be comfortable in saying anything without any judgement or prejudice. She also allows me to think of solutions and makes suggestions but still makes me feel I have a say. Thank you so much.

Great listener, cheerleader... Helping me get to my goals. So validating!!!

Having sessions with Lindsay left me feeling validated. She listen carefully and try to understand my feelings and helped me challenge the negative ones. Talking to her would give you the feeling that you are talking to a friend. Having my sessions on weekends with her gave me a boost for the week and filled me with positive energy. Thanks alot Lindsay!

Incredible, supportive, validating, and very knowledgeable. Would reccomend to anyone!

Incredibly informed, responsive, and supportive. With a history of trauma, I’ve struggled with finding a counselor who makes me feel safe while also challenging me to make the changes I need to heal. In just a few sessions, I already feel like I have more traction. Highly recommend.

working with Lindsay has been amazing. I recommend choosing her if you want to sort through your problems super quickly.

Lindsay has been very understanding & helpful with tips on how to deal with and understand difficult personal situations.

Lindsay is an absolutely incredible, great listener. She gives fantastic advice and genuinely helps overcome the root of my insecurities.

I like that Lindsay is patient.

She’s good therapist. Listens and answers my questions

She’s amazing

Lindsay does a great job of listening and showing that she understands what is going on for me. She gives great feedback, and helps me look at things from a different perspective. I really enjoy our sessions and look forward to talking with her

She helps me think things through and come up with solutions to the issues that I’m having.

She is the best, says not what I want to hear but is objective, supportive, always listens.

Pleased I went ahead in the counselling

Lindsey is great at building rapport and offering suggestions without making it sound like orders. I find her so friendly and easy to speak with.

Excellent

Lindsay is amazing. Caring, concerned, constructively supportive feedback and super knowledgeable! She is hyper attuned to the issues, conversant in their nature and solution oriented. I feel empowered and a sense of relief that there is someone that can assist and support me.

I've been working with Lindsay for almost a year, and it's the longest I've ever been with a counsellor. She's so easy to talk to and very nonjudgmental, and she is easy to build a trusting relationship with. She also has a variety of tools and approaches to see what works best for you. I was in a pretty bad state when I began counselling, and my mental health has improved even beyond where it was before I had a "breakdown"! The single issue is that for me scheduling appointments is difficult because I am on the other side of the world, but Lindsay is very accommodating with scheduling issues.

I can't say enough good things about Lindsay. She's been so attentive, caring, patient and wonderful all around. She does guided meditation sessions with me, which has done wonders for my anxiety and healing past traumas (I have plenty of those). She's helped me brainstorm in a very non-judgemental way, providing me with a safe space to share all of my thoughts. Because of the depth of my issues I will likely keep doing therapy sessions for awhile. This is not a "quick fix" for me and I don't look for some sort of an "a-ha" moment that would solve everything at once.. I just want someone to be there who listens and cares, while also being competent and qualified in providing feedback. These qualities are not easy to find in counselors and I had to change a few before I finally found Lindsay. I'm very happy with my choice and grateful for her.

I've been working with Lindsay for a few months now and she is so incredibly helpful. I couldn't imagine where I would have been without her. She is so supportive and so understanding. Knowing she's there whenever I need is incredibly comforting. I will continue to see her for a while yet!

Lindsay is compassionate and she makes you feel extremely at ease.

I refer to Lindsay as "my second conscious"

I have been working with Lindsay for several months now, and I can only sing her praises. She always reminds me that I can reach out to her between sessions, no matter how many times I forget that I have that option. She is the first person, therapist or otherwise, who has made me feel safe and supported enough to open up about things that took me over 20 years to even think about. She's given me so many valuable tools that help me live my life, rather than feeling dragged along by it. She's helped me gain control over my thoughts. She creates an incredibly safe space, always smiles and actively listens, and she is the reason I haven't lost my motivation to keep working on myself. I can't thank her enough.

Lindsay has helped me to overcome a difficult moment in life and has been there with me as I worked through old issues. I am delighted with where my head is at right now, and though I did the work myself, I don't think I would have achieved the same results without her.

Since having my sessions with Lindsay I have been able to come up with coping skills, as well as she allows me to talk to her various different ways, and I always her back from her within 24 hours.

Lindsay has helped me over the last few weeks gain some control on some difficult behaviour at home. She was quick to give practical help and advice that worked. She was very easy to work with.

Lindsay has really helped me a lot so far. I feel that I can trust her to listen to me and to offer practical advice, but also to push me to do things I find challenging where necessary. I'm looking forward to continuing to work with her.

I’ve only had a few sessions with Lindsay, but I felt comfortable straight away and found it really easy to talk with her. She is my cheerleader when it’s warranted, my sensible advisor when needed and a friendly face with a listing ear always. I’m confident that our sessions will make a great impact on my life going forward.

Lindsay is a very empathetic counsellor .I always feel that she has taken on board what I have said and is very responsive to my issues . I feel that Lindsay really cares about her clients, and she makes it really ease to engage and communicate with her .I always feel that she wants to help .

So far it's going well. I'm not expecting someone to save me from my problems, just need someone to listen, and help me figure out my direction. Lindsay is balanced and respectful in her approach, which I appreciate.

Professional and active councellor

Lindsay is kind and caring therapist/ counsellor. I have only had a few sessions with her so it’s a bit too soon to say anything comprehensive. But having said that, I am perfectly happy with having her as my therapist and have no intention of quitting or changing to another one. She’s tried her best to make me feel comfortable by answering all my questions and concerns as soon as possible. I would highly recommend Lindsay. Thank you!

Lindsay is fantastic. She genuinely wants to help and she is interested and asks really insightful questions. She is easy to talk to and responds well to messages.

Lindsay has been very kind, patient, and understanding. She is a great person to work with and if I needed to go back here, I would hope to have her be my therapist again

She is amazing, finally I could share my secrets and issues with a counselor, she is a very good listener and caring person, and what I like mostly (and I was looking for this) is that with her it's not only a conversation, but also there is an effort to really have changes in practice and real life!

Lindsay is an incredible counselor. Not only does she listen without judgment, she can quickly determine what's at the heart of your struggles, give you tips on how to process experiences for the long term but also manage emotions daily so you can constantly improve your life. She's genuine and kind, and I couldn't recommend her more!

Lindsay is a very experienced, Reliable therapist. She has helped me tap into my inner resources and I recommend her services

I found talking to Lyndsey to be very useful . She is very empathetic and made me feel listened to . I dealt with an uncomfortable meeting / discussion much better as I knew she was there both before and after to support me . I would highly recommend her

I find Lindsey to be most approachable and understanding and really listens attentively and tries to help with my current issues. I feel that she is very professional and I will achieve what I need from my sessions.

In my first session only she made me feel comfortable. She is very understanding and Transparent and willing to help you. She provides you solution for your problems like Sleeping etc. Looking forward for achieving my Goals with her Help.

Lindsay is a very caring individual and I was blown away when I came to her seeking help and she immediately put time aside to speak to me on the same day. I mean, she truly saved me that day and I really appreciate her. The 30mins sessions I feel are a little too short. By the time I managed to get everything out of what I've had to go through, there isn't much I can get back outside of having someone to listen and give me reassurance that my feelings are okay. She did offer some great advice on what I could do, I think I'm just wanting more possibilities. More exercises that could help, trigger managing, or things that I could try to do at home to overcome the stress of certain situations. She's incredible and I think because of that it gives me hope so it makes me want to take in more from her. We've only had a few sessions but I believe that she can help me and build up a strong relationship. Thank you Lindsay :)

I’ve only talked to Lindsay for a couple months maybe but in that time she’s been very understanding and non judgmental and I look forward to continue my sessions with her because I feel comfortable opening up more as time goes on.

Lindsay has been great! She has been supportive in times of need and has understood my needs. She has been very helpful! Totally recommend!
