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 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.
