Online Counseling for Pennsylvania & North Carolina
Struggling to find the right therapist near you?
Why is finding the right therapist so hard sometimes? At Lime Tree Counseling, we say therapists are like shoes, some fit and some don’t. We hope we are a fit for you, and if so, we don’t want location to be a reason we cannot serve you. We hear from clients often about how challenging it is to find a therapist that is the right fit, at a convenient location, and has openings. Not to mention finding a counselor will actually call you back and talk to you. It shouldn’t be this hard! When you are already facing hard things, you don’t need to be driving a long way to find the right therapist to help you.
Our goal is to make our services as easy to use as possible. We love that online therapy, or telehealth, allows us to share our expertise with people in a wider geographical area. No matter how far you are from our office, our team can connect with you online and offer the very same expert therapy services we offer in person. Counseling licensing laws only allow us to see clients who are physically present in states in which we are licensed. At this time, we have therapists licensed in Pennsylvania & North Carolina.
At Lime Tree Counseling, we understand the importance of mental health and the need for convenient, accessible support. Our online counseling services provide the same high-quality care as in-person sessions, allowing you to receive the help you need from the comfort of your home. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, grief, trauma, or addictions, our professional and compassionate therapists are here to support you every step of the way.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is online counseling as effective as in-person therapy? Yes, numerous studies have shown that online counseling can be just as effective as traditional in-person therapy for many issues.
How do I know if online counseling is right for me? If you are looking for flexible, accessible mental health support and prefer the convenience of attending sessions from home, online counseling may be a great fit for you.
Are the sessions confidential and secure? Absolutely. We use a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform to ensure your privacy and confidentiality.
How is online therapy with Lime Tree Counseling different from some of the bigger online counseling companies?
Subscription based, online therapy companies are becoming more common. However, these platforms are focused on numbers, not your individual wellbeing. Bigger online counseling services depend on high volume of subscribers to make money. Often, they require their therapists to see a high number of clients in one day, leading to counselor burnout. No research has shown texting to be an effective form of therapy. Also, therapists commonly only get paid for a certain word count with texts – once you hit that, they just stop texting you altogether. High turnover rates that these companies mean you’ll likely be changing therapists frequently. Some reports state that these companies also sell your information to third parties.
With Lime Tree Counseling, our online services mirror our in-person services. We have a select, expert team of counselors who support each other to always do our best work for you, our clients. We only use evidenced based practices, so you get the best results. The quality of our work matters, not the quantity of people we can churn through a conveyor belt of therapy sessions or texts. Your personal information is always confidential, as is required by law.

Who is not a good fit for Online Counseling?
Online therapy sessions are not a good fit for you if:
- You are having thoughts of hurting yourself or others
- You are in a crisis or emergency situation
- You are court ordered to attend therapy
- You do not have a reliable internet connection
If any of these describe you, in person counseling will better meet your needs.
