Online sessions: flexibility to meet you wherever you are
Process/Expectations:
Online therapy (also referred to as teletherapy, distance counseling or remote therapy) is a convenient, secure, and effective solution for your therapy needs. We meet from the privacy of your own home, office, or anywhere you are with access to your phone, tablet, or computer and a good internet connection.
Sessions will be conducted through a secure HIPPA compliant video conferencing platform. After we schedule your appointment time, I will email you an appointment confirmation that includes the forms you will need to fill out and sign electronically prior to your appointment. At the scheduled appointment time, click on the link and follow the onscreen prompts.
Benefits:
-
Online therapy sessions are convenient, all you need is a phone or laptop and strong internet connection.
-
Practical solution for busy schedules/scheduling constraints
-
Meet from the privacy of your own home, office, or when traveling.
-
Great option for individuals living in remote areas.
-
Reduction of late cancellations and fees due to stressors such as dealing with traffic, commuting, parking
"Research studies indicate that online/telemental health is equivalent to face-to-face care in various settings and an acceptable alternative form of counseling." (American Psychological Association, 2017)
Limitations:
-
Online counselors will not be able to respond to crisis situations.
-
Confidentiality cannot be guaranteed to the same degree as in-person sessions due to limitations of technology

In-Person sessions offered in Nature
The majority of my sessions are conducted through a virtual platform
but I also offer in-person sessions in outdoor settings. Conducting sessions outdoors is unique to my practice and is a powerful approach to help clients heal and reconnect with nature. Clients who live near or on Lake Travis will be able to conveniently access this service. Details of in-person sessions will be further discussed during our free initial phone consultation.
