Online therapy is a great way for you to work on your healing from the comfort of your own home. Doing therapy online is very convenient. You will save time and money by not having to commute to and from the therapy office or deal with parking and public transportation. For people who live in remote areas without access to mental health care, online therapy is an excellent option to get access to a therapist they wouldn’t otherwise be able to see.

How does online therapy work?

I can offer online therapy to residents of California. We can meet either by video or phone depending on your preference and the technology available to you. You will need to find a private place to talk and may have to arrange this in advance if you live with other people. A good internet connection and camera are necessary for video therapy. Online therapy is convenient, safe, confidential and effective.

Is online therapy as effective as in-person therapy?

Many of my clients remark how much they appreciate online therapy because they find it just as effective as meeting in person while being much more convenient. Adjusting to the “new normal” of the current pandemic might be anxiety inducing, but with some flexibility you can still find the support you need during this time. Online therapy is an excellent option for people who are concerned with the pandemic, live in remote areas, can’t spend time commuting to and from the therapy office, and for anyone who wants a convenient and effective option for mental health.
