Online Therapy

Teletherapy provides an alternative to in-person therapy.

Although online therapy is a relatively new, modern way of approaching therapy, research shows it’s as effective as face-to-face therapy. Online therapy is becoming many clients’ preferred way of meeting due to its convenience, cost-effectiveness, and treatment effectiveness.

I conduct online therapy via a confidential, HIPAA-compliant video conferencing platform.

In the comfort and privacy of your home, office, or other private space, you can do individual or family therapy. You have complete confidentiality.

Here’s how it works.

You’ll fill out your intake paperwork and send it to my HIPAA-compliant email.

I’ll email you a private link to my virtual office space and meet you there during your scheduled session. It’s so simple!

Here are some tips for making the most of your online sessions.

Use a computer, tablet, or phone with a strong Internet connection.

Get comfortable! Find a quiet, well-lit, private space. Close any windows if there is loud noise outside and turn off the television, music, and other devices (including your cell phone!).

Prop your device up onto something secure, far enough away, so you have enough space to feel comfortable and don’t have to hold or fidget with it. Being hands-free is essential because it allows you to focus on what’s going on in the session without becoming distracted. It also helps me see you better, which helps me focus on what you are communicating.

If you join the session from your car because you’re either on a lunch break at work, in the middle of busily running errands, or need to find some privacy away from a house full of family or roommates, there is no problem. However, I recommend that you please make sure you are in a location that has good cell service and parked in a safe place – never while driving.

Online therapy isn’t the best fit for everyone, though.

Here’s what to keep in mind. Your safety is crucial, so let’s first make sure online therapy is the right platform for you.

Sometimes, people may need more comprehensive treatment than outpatient, online treatment.

If you or someone you love is experiencing recurrent thoughts of suicide, and you feel like you can’t keep yourself or your loved one safe, then online therapy may not be the crisis-level support needed. If you or your loved one is at risk, please call 911, go to your nearest emergency room, or contact the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at (800) 273-8255.
