More about Bearlyn

Welcome!

I am a National Certified Counselor (NCC), a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), a Clinical Certified TeleMental Health Professional (CTMH) and I hold a doctorate in Counselor Education and Supervision (EdD) with over 20 years of experience in counseling individuals, couples, families and adolescents.

My counseling style is compassionate, warm, empathetic and behaviorally focused. I tailor my sessions based on the needs of my client, utilizing a collaborative approach to therapy. I also understand how personal and sometimes overwhelming the therapeutic process can be. However, I am here to help guide you in your journey to mental wellness.

Thank you for considering me to help you reach your goals in this therapeutic process.

Please check my schedule and let me know if you do not see a time of day that works for you. I may be able to open a slot. Initial sessions are 30 minutes for information gathering. After which we can determine if the sessions will be 30 or 45 minutes.

I look forward to working with you.

About online counseling

Affordable.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
