I have tried therapy throughout the years. Trying to find someone local or someone who takes my insurance. I never connected with anyone. Linda is AMAZING!! Professional, knowledgeable, friendly, personable, great two-way conversation. She listens so intently. She lets me talk and responds in a non-judgmental way with valuable insight in return. She doesn't respond with another question. I am so comfortable speaking with her.

Hello and Welcome to BetterHelp! This is where you can find your new future and the help you seek for the life you are wanting to live!

I would be honored to assist you along that ride.

My name is Linda Crawford. I am a Mental Health Counselor licensed in the state of Florida. Just like you, I am human and that means I understand life has a variety of challenges to throw at us. At times, it can seem near impossible to get past some of these obstacles. Often we can feel alone and helpless about what our best next step could be. But, here is the secret reality......needing assistance in these matters is just part of the human process. Unfortunately, there are many people who are afraid to admit they are human enough to desire/need the assistance of another person's perspective. Anyway, here you are reading my profile and that is actually a good sign!

I am excited about working with you to dig through your struggles and help you excel to work on changing your brain so that you can feel better about your future. It is true, you brain does change according to your thought process! I truly want to help you excel at this! However, I cannot do this alone and that means you may be given assignments to complete. That is how you will learn to change your brain!

Together, we can adjust your negative thoughts and feelings which, in my experience working with clients, seems to be at the core of many issues such as: relationship issues (social and professional), anxiety, depression, overeating, disorganization, lost motivation, lost interest, hurt feelings, anger, loneliness, mistrust, boredom.

Here is the plan I offer to you: You are the driver of your life, you have free will to choose which road to take. I will sit in the passenger seat and be a sort of ...GPS...suggesting options along the way. Ultimately, you are the one with your hands on the wheel and your foot on the pedal. That means, you determine the distance you travel and the speed at which you move. Also, and most important....you determine when you have arrived at your destination!

Ready when you are!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a 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.

I cannot say enough about my therapist Linda Crawford! I was skeptical at first about getting the BetterHelp app but my Dr and family thought I would benefit from it and I am so glad I listened to them!! I filled everything out that they question you on to find a therapist for you and I was connected with Linda. From the first session I knew I could work with her! She was professional but yet empathetic at the same time. She helped me get through a very rough spot with my anxiety and gave me many tools, exercises etc to help along with just talking and rationalizing with me to help clear up my perspective on things. I worked with Linda for 4 months and I was very sad when it was our last session because I will miss talking with her. I highly recommend her and if I need any help in the future I will request her!!!

Linda is very kind and supportive. Sometimes just knowing there is someone out there willing to give you a different perspective is all you need to get through an issue. I’ve always felt that Linda was ready and willing to work with me on whatever I’ve needed.

Linda’s therapy can be summed up in a simple but extraordinary review: helpful. She is pragmatic, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in improving my life and mental health. She is less interested in therapy as an intellectual exercise and more focussed on producing practical results. She has helped me greatly and has my highest recommendation.

Linda is great! She’s very good at helping you process your experiences and breaking them down into manageable chunks of information that can then be defined. Helping you to strategize how to make overwhelming situations, stress, anxiety etc more manageable.
