More about Tijo
- 4 years' experience
- Male
- LMHC
I believe an LMHC should have a commitment to community work and should be detailed and organized, with exceptional written/oral communication skills, and be comfortable working directly with clients. Through my experience as both an LMHC and a Supervisor I have gained a commitment to community work, as well as organizational skills and keen attention to detail.
Through my experiences, I have gained a vast amount of knowledge about how to best work with clients who are struggling in their daily lives. I truly understand how to develop a client and counselor relationship and I have seen how powerful this relationship can be. From my experiences I have polished my skills in various therapeutic approaches such as CBT and Gestalt Therapy.

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.
