SECURE Online PSYCHOTherapy
These days most of us are familiar with Zoom meetings. Online therapy is no different, other than utilizing a HIPAA secure platform. It works just like in-person therapy, except that you can meet with me from the comfort of your home or office or any other confidential place as long as you're in the state of California (due to current mental health licensing laws).
Why do online therapy?
- You’re really busy and have limited time, but you're ready to invest in your personal growth.
- You have young children at home and arranging for childcare is difficult, so it's much easier to put on their favorite video while you take some time for yourself.
- You feel more comfortable in your own space, or you have limitations that make leaving your home challenging.
- You live in another part of California, but you'd really like to work together.
What do you need for an online session?
- A private space- your bedroom, outside, or even in your car.
- An internet connection that is fast enough to stream video.
- A computer or device (phone, tablet) with a webcam.
- Headphones are handy but not necessary.
- Tissues, a glass of water, and maybe a comfy blanket, your cuddly fur baby, or your favorite slippers (all optional).
Online therapy is safe, Secure, and and Effective
Online therapy conducted via synchronous video is backed by research and closely mimics an in-office appointment, unlike text-based therapy services. I use a HIPAA compliant telehealth platform called SimplePractice, that makes online therapy simple and secure, and has an easy-to-use interface.
Secure and HIPAA compliant video sessions are available via the SimplePractice service (more info about SimplePractice Telehealth here) The service is available through any browser or device (phone or tablet).
Online therapy is my primary mode of conducting therapy for all clients, both new and existing. I began offering teletherapy as an option in 2014 to make my services and specialty more accessible, and made the transition to full-time telehealth permanent in during the COVID-19 pandemic shutdown in early 2020. I have advanced training in online therapy and certification in TeleMental Health and Digital Ethics from the Zur Institute.
Online therapy is not a good fit for people with psychiatric emergencies or crisis situations.
