Get connected to get the support you need

Don’t let distance or accessibility stop you from getting the help and support you desire. I offer online telehealth talk therapy and EMDR appointments for Texas residents.

How does online therapy work?

Online therapy is almost the same as in-person therapy. Instead of driving to an office, you’ll log into a secure portal to conduct sessions.

Because my license allows me to see anyone in the state of Texas, you don’t have to be located in Austin in order to utilize my services. If you live in a remote area or don’t have access to reliable transportation, online counseling still allows us to connect.

Online sessions also offer more continuity of care. If you’re out of town or sick, we can still conduct an online session so there’s no interruption to your care.

Long gaps between sessions can impede progress since we’ll end up spending a great deal of time catching up instead of working on deeper concerns. Meeting online means you can make steady progress.

What You’ll need for Telehealth Sessions:

While being able to log into session from the comfort of your own home is very convenient, it can present some unique concerns. In order to best utilize online sessions, here are a few ways to make it work:

  • Stable and private internet connection/WiFi connection

  • Secure, private location where you won’t be interrupted

  • Computer (or phone, or tablet) with a camera

  • Optional: Headphones to reduce background and feedback noise

  • Optional: Fan or white noise machine

online therapy effective

Is online therapy effective?

Thankfully, yes! Pre-COVID I might have given you a different answer, but since lockdown, I’ve found online to be just as effective as in-person therapy. You’re still getting the same mindful attention you’d get if we were sitting in an office together.

While there are unique challenges that weren’t an issue before, like making sure your space is private and reducing distractions, overall I’ve found the benefits far outweigh the drawbacks.

You’re no longer limited by distance, which means getting the support and guidance you need from wherever you are (in Texas). I offer both online talk therapy and EMDR sessions.

Don’t wait to get support for your concerns. Get connected with online counseling so you can Pursue what matters.

It may feel far off now, but it’s possible to wake up and not feel an overwhelming sense of dread, or feel your heart racing even when sitting still. Life can be fun and fulfilling when overwhelming feelings don’t get in the way of doing what matters.

The Benefits of Online Therapy

It’s Effective

Research has shown that telehealth therapy is just as effective as in-person counseling and I’ve personally found it to be very effective. We’re still face-to-face and you get the same attention and attunement I provide during in-person sessions. And with only a few adjustments, EMDR is just as effective online.

It’s Convenient

No more dealing with a commute or sitting in traffic! Conducting therapy from the comfort of your own home means you can remain in a space that feels familiar, which can help you feel more comfortable opening up and working through issues. And if video isn’t your thing, I also offer “walk and talk” phone sessions.

It’s Flexible

Because I don’t need to physically be in an office to help you, this gives me greater flexibility to schedule appointment times that work for you. And because you don’t have to spend lots of time traveling to an office, it gives you the option of scheduling an appointment when you otherwise wouldn’t have been able to.
