In-person therapy is not always the best option.
Finding time in your busy schedule makes carving out time for a visit to the therapist seem impossible. Sure, it would be nice to have time to address how you feel, but obligations stand in the way.
Work makes it difficult to schedule an in-person session during the middle of the day, especially if you must drive to and from the therapist’s office.
Driving children to and from school and after-school activities presents enough problems. Alternatively, you may have someone at home that needs care, making it challenging to find a replacement for you during the day.
You might wonder, “What other options do I have? I need therapy, but how do I fit it into my schedule?”
Receiving therapy online is a great option.
Online therapy is convenient, much easier to schedule, and safer for those with health concerns. It’s also surprisingly effective. Sometimes, the beginning of an in-person session needs to focus on the stress of getting there. With online therapy, we can immediately work together on whatever is most important to you.
While working online, I can still carefully attune to your process – and you can feel my support from the comfort of your home, office, or wherever you choose. We can address any issue that in-person therapy can address.
Research has found that online therapy effectively treats anxiety, depression, and trauma. Patient satisfaction is not different depending on whether therapy is online or in-person. For either method of receiving therapy, the outcomes are better the more sessions clients attend.*
Previously, I could see only those clients able to get to my office. Now, I can work with anyone in the entire state of California. This service benefits people who live in more remote areas with less access to services.
Now you have an option that meets your needs.
Scheduling an appointment is easy and at your convenience. After contacting me, you can schedule through my portal and pick a time slot that meets your busy schedule. Many people can take some time out of their workday to have a session, especially if they can have sessions in their office or somewhere close to work.
To get started, all you need is a private and quiet place where we can have our session without interruption and a device with a good Internet connection. Even smartphones work in a pinch.
Don’t worry about safety. We will have our sessions on a HIPPA-compliant platform, allowing for confidentiality.
Give online therapy a try because it offers a way to seek the needed therapy.
