Online Therapy

YOU AREN’T IN THIS ALONE

You may be thinking “Online therapy? What? How am I supposed to lay on my therapist's couch if we have a screen and miles between us?” I thought this at one point too, but online therapy, also called telecare or telehealth has been a lifesaver for myself and many of my clients who are facing barriers to treatment at the moment. Due to COVID-19, I do not offer in person services at the moment. All sessions are conducted via telehealth using a platform called Simple Practice. While all sessions are conducted using telehealth, I am only licensed to serve clients in Washington State.

BENEFITS OF TELEHEALTH

Over the last few years online therapy has become extremely popular. It can be a great tool for people who cannot access care due to their location, health status, transportation, specified treatment needs, or simply for those who do not wish to meet in person. 

  • Convenient and accessible care for diverse populations

  • Upholds client confidentiality 

  • Increases client comfort 

  • Ease of entry into the therapeutic relationship

  • Ensures time consistency with your therapist

how therapy works

  • Using the email link on my website - here - you will be able to reach out regarding counseling services.

  • I will reach back out regarding counseling services and we will schedule a 15-minute phone consultation. This service is free and I offer this to ensure before we begin working together that we are a good fit.

  • After our phone consultation and agreement to begin working together, you will receive an email from SimplePractice, the telehealth platform that I use. The link to the portal will allow you to create a login, password, and submit your card information (credit, debit, or HSA). There will be paperwork sent to your portal to fill out, we will also fill out paperwork upon your first session.

  • Now we wait for our first session together. You will be sent a video link reminder from SimplePractice prior to our session, there is the option to be sent an email or text reminder upon beginning treatment. I suggest taking advantage of this so we never miss a session and so that you aren't billed for any no-shows!
