Online Therapy for California Residents

Do you feel like you could use some support?

Seeing an online therapist can help you work through any issue, from the comfort of your own home...

Do you feel confused or overwhelmed by the current state of the world? Is COVID-19 causing you to feel uncomfortable and unsure of where is safe? Perhaps you aren’t comfortable leaving your home right now, other than just to complete essential tasks. Maybe you are unsure if you want to pursue something like therapy right now, with everything else that is already going on.

If you relate to the above statements, you are not alone.

Online Therapist California Teletherapy Woman Receiving a Hug The world is a little bit confusing right now as we navigate through the first pandemic that many of us have ever lived to see. Things are changing by the minute, and it has left many of us feeling unsettled and unsure of what to expect. Many people are also feeling disconnected and isolated at this time, due to the social distancing orders.

Online Therapy Services I Specialize In

Eating Disorder Therapy

Are you consumed with thoughts about food, exercise, or your weight? One benefit of online therapy is talking about disordered eating tendencies and processing the underlying emotions can sometimes be difficult, so it may be helpful to be in a place where you already feel familiar and comfortable. Online eating disorder therapy can provide a variety of coping skills and therapeutic tools to help you finally feel at peace with food and your body.

EMDR Therapy

Are you experiencing symptoms of emotional distress related to a past trauma in your life? If you tend to be highly reactive to certain triggers or hold dysfunctional/negative beliefs about yourself and the world, you may still be a good candidate for EMDR sessions in an online setting. EMDR therapy online can provide an increased rate of reduction in symptoms compared to talk therapy alone.

Anxiety Therapy

Do you constantly feel worried, tense, or find it difficult to relax? When seeing a virtual therapist you have the opportunity to reap these benefits, but you can do it from the comfort of your own home about the stress of making it an appointment. Online anxiety therapy can offer tools such as mindfulness practices, coping skills, and talk therapy to help you find relief and calm your racing mind.

I offer online video therapy that provides you the option of obtaining support from the comfort of your own home. I have helped a diverse range of clients on a variety of issues through online therapy. I will help guide you through the initial process of virtual therapy and show you that teletherapy can be just as helpful and beneficial as therapy in-person. You deserve to receive support, no matter where you are or what is going on in the outside world.

How Does Online Distance Therapy Work?

Online Therapy California Teletherapy Session Woman on Couch Online distance therapy is very simple. I will answer any questions you may have about the process, and then once you feel comfortable I will provide you with a link to the online video platform. Although we will not be in the same room together, I will still provide the same safe space that I would if we were in-person. I provide all of the same therapeutic modalities (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy, and more) that I would in-person. Online tele therapy can be incredibly helpful for those struggling with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, body image, trauma, low self-esteem, life transitions, and more.
