Online Therapy
For many years, people have internally and mentally struggled –
and not sought help from a therapist.
Why?
Perhaps they didn’t feel comfortable leaving their home. Perhaps they were concerned about anonymity. Perhaps they couldn’t find the therapist that was a perfect fit for them.
Now, that doesn’t have to be the case.
Enter: Online Therapy
Now you can get help online, in the comfort of your own home or office.
Why would people do this?
How does Online Therapy compare to In-Person Therapy?
Online therapy is a lot more appealing as it offers you an easier way to speak to a professional about your worries. However, there’s not just video therapy you can benefit from online. You can also benefit from chat therapy over the phone and you can even text if you wanted to.
All this can be done from anywhere you please such as your home or a coffee shop. Without the stress of sitting face-to-face with a stranger. Also, you can do it whenever you want, instead of sticking to a strict schedule if you had to visit a physical store. Think how much time you would save from not having to travel etc.
Why do people struggle to go with in-person therapy?
There are many reasons why in-person therapy may be difficult. You may have a full schedule, limited transportation, health concerns, caregiving responsibilities, or simply live too far from the office to make regular in-person sessions realistic.
Online therapy offers a flexible way to receive meaningful support from a private and comfortable space. With secure video sessions, you can still engage in thoughtful, relational, and emotionally focused therapy without needing to travel to an office.
What Online Sessions Are Like
Online sessions are conducted through a secure video platform such as SimplePractice or Zoom. Before your session, you will receive the necessary link and instructions. You will need a private space, a reliable internet connection, and a device with video and audio.
For couples, I recommend that both partners join from the same location whenever possible, unless we have discussed another arrangement. Being together in the same space can often help us work more directly with the relational patterns that emerge between you.
The goal is to create a space that feels focused, safe enough, and emotionally present, even though we are not in the same room.
PLEASE NOTE: Online therapy is not the right level of care for every situation. It may not be appropriate for those experiencing an acute mental health crisis, active risk of harm to self or others, severe psychiatric instability, or situations involving immediate danger. If you are having thoughts of harming yourself or someone else, please call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, call 911, or go to your nearest emergency room.
