In the short time that I have known Linda Duffy, she has been nothing short of incredible. She offers sound advice, extremely effective coping mechanisms for my trauma, and has shown me a path forward that I didn’t even realize was there. I am truly grateful for Linda, and I wouldn’t be where I am today without her guidance. I highly recommend this therapist to anyone who is suffering with PTSD or substance abuse.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Linda , quickly understood me and how to help my issues

Reviewed November 2024

Honestly, this short review will not do Linda Duffy justice. She is just amazing. I really love my sessions with her and they make a world of difference for my mental health and state of mind. Linda helps me feel proactive about my problems and more proactive about the things I can do (without me even realizing she is helping to steer me in the right direction). It’s as if I’m doing it all on my own which makes me feel empowered as heck. I love that about Linda’s style. I think everyone should be in therapy. Even helping me take a moment to soak in the GOOD things is extremely helpful and something I just miss out on without having Linda Duffy as my therapist.

Linda has been extremely helpful in improving my life.
