As a therapist and counselor, I have more than 25 years of experience as well as many years in program development, administration, and counseling.

I have worked with nearly all populations with the exception of small children.

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.

So far so good

Reviewed March 2022

I like Larry. He seems like he knows what he's doing but feels a little like he's going through the motions at first. I think his demeanor and mine don't really mesh as I am a pretty upbeat person and he's a little mellow. Like, he's a little too minimal for me, character wise, because I'm so animated and crack jokes often, whether they're funny or not haha. So if we need someone who really knows this stuff and has a really calm attitude, Larry's your person!
