California Online Counseling, California Online EMDR
Online psychotherapy. Convenient. Private. Effective.
Online therapy is also known by the terms teletherapy, e-therapy and telemedicine. I am able to offer video conferencing using the platform doxy.me which is HIPAA compliant. Doxy.me requires either chrome or firefox, a computer/laptop or smartphone with both a camera and microphone, and a strong internet connection. Clients who are at risk for suicidality or other risk factors may not be good candidates for teletherapy and we will discuss this during your assessment.
I am able to offer therapy for clients anywhere in the state of California. It has many benefits including:
- Convenience. You can access sessions from the convenience and privacy of your home or office without driving to and from sessions.
- Effective. Research shows it is often as effective as in-person therapy.
- EMDR. Emdr is now available via teletherapy depending on the situation.
- Accessible. It is especially convenient for people who are living with chronic health or pain issues.
In order to for your session to be the most successful I encourage you to log in a little early in case of connectivity issues, make sure you are in a quiet and private space, make sure your devices are charged, take care of your creature comforts (blankets, tissue, pets). I will send you a link to access doxy.me prior to our sessions. I require you to confirm your phone number in case our internet connection is poor and your physical address prior to each session in case of emergency.
