About

Dr. Lakshmi Frigo holds a deep conviction that people carry the inner resources needed to pursue a more contented life. As a trans woman, she speaks from both personal and professional insight into the external pressures and internal doubts that can fuel fear - the loneliness, the sense of separateness, and the spiral of uncertainty that many face.

She also draws on long experience to affirm that self-acceptance and greater well-being are attainable, and she notes that research supports the benefits of seeking help. Her work centers on a mindfulness-based approach that emphasizes present-moment awareness and practical strategies for coping.

Dr. Frigo primarily works with members of the LGBTQAI+ community while welcoming anyone searching for an empathic, supportive, and nonjudgmental therapeutic collaborator. She is a licensed clinical social worker in Missouri (MO LCSW 2024022110) and a licensed independent clinical social worker in Minnesota (MN LICSW 15966). She has 20 years of experience and is located in New Mexico.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people wonder whether remote therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person treatment.

A major benefit is flexibility - you can meet with a therapist in the way that best fits your life, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. That ease of access makes it simpler to maintain regular care even with a busy schedule or geographic constraints.

Therapists offering online care are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change providers if they feel a different fit would be more helpful. For many people, remote therapy provides a practical and effective path to address everyday mental health concerns and to work toward greater well-being.
