Simply put online therapy is convenient. You do not have to concern yourself with the limitations of the 'therapy near me' searches. I have mental health licenses in both North Carolina & Florida which allows me to provide virtual therapy services for clients across these states. 

Clients appreciate the ease in which they can join their sessions & the flexibility in choosing a counselor who they feel best fits their mental health needs regardless of proximity. Online therapy removes obstacles related to distance, scheduling, traffic, weather and illness which may interrupt participation. 

Overall, telehealth services allow for increased client choice. 

Virtual counseling sessions do not require one to be tech savy. All that is needed is: 

-A device with a microphone and camera (i.e. smartphone, computer or tablet). Most devices have mics & cameras already. 

-Reliable internet connection.

-Privacy (home, office, parked car, patio). Whatever private & safe space works for you.

Therapy is an individualized process therefore gains will vary based on each client's identified goals. This being acknowledged broader gains for many may relate to a better understanding of what I refer to as the ABC's of therapy. Increasing self awareness, developing healthy boundaries and strengthening one's overall ability to cope. 

We will also work together to disrupt patterns of thoughts, behaviors and communication which you feel no longer serve your best interests.

Some people feel the online telehealth platform may limit their ability to connect with their therapist and build rapport. Although this may be true for some, for many it has turned out to be a false assumption. If you are unsure if online therapy sessions would be a good fit for you, feel free to reach out to schedule a free 15 minute consultation call. 

Generally speaking a common thread between individuals who establish services is their readiness to increase self awareness and begin to take accountability for their choices & behaviors. My clients have an inclination that they may need to begin to 'move out of their own way' and identify healthier ways to show up for themselves and who or what they value. They are willing to recognize & learn to appreciate that identifying the issue only goes so far. If their self-identified goal is to change they realize that follow through in their actions is necessary for their success. 

Clients who may be processing and closing loops from past traumas, unhealthy learned messaging, perceived mistakes or negative experiences tend to be generally functioning in their daily lives but are ready to lean into active reframing and release of the distress they carry. They tend to come into therapy with an awareness that they may be lingering on something & not yet fully able to move forward. 

This practice utilizes the following criteria when assessing for appropriateness to provide online virtual treatment services. If you can answer 'yes' to any one of the following please seek services with an in-office provider as these may indicate a need for more intensive support: 

- Have had a recent suicide attempt.

- Currently are experiencing intense suicidal feelings and/or ideations (thoughts). 

-Currently are engaging in acts of physical self harm/injury.

-Have had an admission to a psychiatric care facility within the last 2 years.

-Live in a violent or highly volatile home in which you could be in danger.

-Are actively struggling with a substance addiction which significantly impairs daily functioning and/or have recently relapsed.
