Online Therapy

Online Therapy Makes Getting The Help And Support You Deserve Easier Than Ever
If you’d have told me in Spring, 2020, that I would come to love online therapy and actually prefer it to in-person sessions, I would have laughed in your face. In fact, my partner did mention this possibility to me that spring (he and his damn optimism) – I distinctly remember it, because I did in fact laugh in his face.

As it turns out, I actually didn’t not like online therapy. I just hated working from a corner of a bedroom in my house, while feeling as equally terrified as all of my clients because of a brand-new, raging global pandemic. Because, yeah, it was a lot, all around.

But online therapy itself? ​​​Turns out, it’s great! So great, in fact, it's what I now offer exclusively. 
The research into it has consistently found that in many cases online therapy works just as well as in-person therapy. And in some cases (such as the type of work I do), it often works better.

​Anecdotally, my clients and I can absolutely attest to this.

My clients and I have found, quite simply, that online therapy works – yes, even for brand-new clients!

Why Online Therapy Is Great​

​The Right Fit Is The Right Fit

So much of the benefit of therapy is the connection and relationship between the client and the therapist. With the right fit, online therapy is just as warm, just as personal, and just as connected as meeting in person.

​Better Comfort Level

Clients have found that engaging in therapy sessions from the comfort of their own home – often while under a snuggly blanket, wearing slippers, or having a cup of tea – allows them to even more fully relax into themselves while doing this emotional work. 

More Personal Connection

By connecting with clients in the personal, private space of their homes, there’s an intimacy that’s fostered between us that in-person sessions simply can’t replicate. It’s truly such a joy to be invited into clients’ homes. (And I love getting to meet pets!)

Real & Authentic

Clients appreciate not having to get ready to go out into the world – clothes, hair, makeup – and instead are able to show up to therapy just as they are. That’s so helpful, because it supports the vulnerable work of therapy in a genuine and authentic way.

More Accessible

Online therapy is so much more accessible than in-person sessions. And so even when your day goes haywire, you’re more easily able to keep your appointment as scheduled. And the more consistent your sessions are, the more effective this work is.

Greater Convenience

Online therapy is just plain convenient. Therapy is already an investment of your time, and with online therapy you don’t have to additionally account for travel time, traffic, or other logistical hassles that accompany in-person appointments. 

The Nitty Gritty of Meeting Online

Okay, let’s be real. I am well aware that one of my clients’ biggest initial concerns about online therapy is having to see themselves on camera during session. So, good news! With the telehealth platform I use, you can hide your preview screen. 

So, nope, you don’t have to stare at video of yourself throughout the session! 

You can then focus on our session itself, without the distraction of your moving face staring back at you. (Seriously, we're truly not meant to look at ourselves this much!)

Here’s the scoop about meeting online:

1
I use a secure, HIPAA-compliant online platform that is super easy to use with any device. No software to download, no account to create, no password to remember.
