Online Therapy Services | Deep Centered Counseling

Seeking therapy shouldn’t cause additional stress. Unfortunately, for many people, it can. Fighting traffic to get to an office or having to rearrange your schedule can be barriers to getting the help that you need.

Online therapy allows you to access support without barriers like scheduling, distance, or dealing with traffic. Whether you are simply navigating a difficult time in your life or you already have a mental health diagnosis like bipolar disorder or depression, online therapy can help you navigate these issues — just as in-person therapy can do the same.

One of the best things about online therapy is that it removes those barriers to therapy. It allows for great flexibility. With virtual sessions, you can fit therapy into your day easily. There is no need to deal with long commutes or take hours away from your responsibilities.

Online sessions provide a private, flexible space to focus on your mental wellness. With the right therapist, meaningful progress can happen from anywhere — your office, home, or wherever you feel most at ease — as long as it’s quiet and private.

Many therapists were initially concerned that video and phone sessions would feel distant and disconnected. However, we have noticed that the emotional closeness is still there as though we are in the same room. With online therapy, you can get mental health support wherever you are. Whether you are at home or on your lunch break at work, you can connect with a licensed therapist through a secure video platform. All you need is a quiet space and your smartphone, tablet, or laptop and an internet connection.

Online talk therapy looks a lot like in person therapy — it’s just more flexible and comfortable. Your therapist will provide you with a supportive environment where you can talk openly with someone who is nonjudgmental and objective.

Online therapy offers the same level of professionalism and care that you would receive with in-person visits. Therapists use evidence-based approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy to work through issues like anxiety, depression, trauma, and bipolar disorder.

Online therapy sessions are confidential and private. Many people are actually more comfortable with online therapy. They feel more open and comfortable being in their own familiar environment.

Our Approach to Online Therapy

Our approach to online therapy is centered on the idea that a therapeutic connection and meaningful growth can happen anywhere. Whether you are joining from your office or living room, we’ll work alongside you to deepen insight and help you make meaningful therapeutic progress towards your treatment goals.

Our online sessions are secure and follow the same standards of care as our in-person sessions. The difference is the format. Through a secure and confidential, HIPAA-compliant platform, we will provide thoughtful evidence-based care.

Just like with in-person sessions, your therapist will spend time learning about your past, your current challenges, and your goals, both short and long-term. Together, we’ll explore why you came to therapy and develop a tailored plan to help you work towards your goals.

Your therapist will listen to you attentively and empathetically, and ask you questions to help you clarify your thoughts and feelings, and change unhealthy behaviors. You’ll develop new skills and strategies to cope with mental health concerns and achieve your goals.

Online therapy is a collaborative process that requires your active participation and commitment. You and your therapist will work together to set realistic and achievable goals for your therapy. You will also work together to monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed. You may also have homework assignments between sessions to practice what you learned in therapy or to prepare for the next session.

Therapy works best when it fits your life. Our approach emphasizes collaboration and flexibility. Online therapy with us makes it easy to adapt your treatment plan as your needs evolve, while still maintaining consistency and continuity in your care.

Therapy isn’t simply about your problems. We’re here to help you identify strengths and practice skills that can help you handle challenges in a healthy way. Since you don’t have to worry about a commute, you can relax and focus on yourself wherever you feel most comfortable. Online therapy can be so transformative because it helps you feel more grounded and capable in your everyday life on your terms.

There are many reasons why a person may reach out for online therapy. And, online therapy makes the process so easy. They may live in a rural area and have limited access to licensed therapists who can help. Sometimes, mobility issues can make it difficult to seek in-person therapy. Online therapy can be a lifeline in these situations.

Other people turn to online therapy because it offers a level of flexibility that traditional therapy can’t match. Caregiving responsibilities and busy schedules can make getting to an office to attend in-person sessions nearly impossible.

Virtual therapy removes barriers, such as those above. It allows clients to fit meaningful care into their lives without sacrificing other commitments. This flexibility often makes it easier to stay engaged in the therapeutic process, which is essential for lasting progress.

Some people simply choose online therapy because they feel more comfortable in their own home. It’s familiar. It’s safe. They feel more grounded and able to do therapeutic work. This can enable healing and change to take place.

So, what issues can online therapy help with? Online therapy can help with many of the same mental health challenges that in-person therapy helps with, including:

Grief, loss, or other significant life changes
Severe stress from job, family, or relationships
Clarifying values, identity, or personal goals more clearly
Anxiety-related symptoms, such as panic and hypervigilance
LGBTQ+ related concerns, including navigating coming out and discrimination
Feeling “stuck” in unhelpful patterns that keep repeating due to past experiences
Managing bipolar disorder, including regulating mood and medication management
Symptoms of depression, such as hopelessness, low mood, low motivation, and sleep changes
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and coping with the impact of trauma and difficult past experience

Why It Can Be Hard To Reach Out

It can be challenging to start therapy, and many people feel a little apprehensive before committing to the process. Some people worry that online therapy won’t quite feel the same as being in the room with a therapist, or they may worry about it being as private as the in-person experience. These are valid concerns.

Our therapists are skilled at creating that feeling of connection, whether you’re sitting on your couch or meeting with us on your lunch break. Our online sessions are HIPAA-compliant, private, and fully secure. All you have to do is turn on your Zoom camera, and you’re instantly connected with your therapist.

My therapy style is warm, collaborative, and client-centered, with a strong emphasis on creating a space where clients feel truly heard, respected, and understood. I tailor each session to meet your individual needs, drawing from a range of therapeutic approaches to support meaningful and lasting change. My goal is to walk alongside you with empathy and curiosity, helping you explore your experiences and move toward healing at your own pace.

Clients appreciate my down-to-earth and lighthearted approach, which helps create a comfortable and relaxed environment where they feel safe being themselves. I balance professionalism with genuine warmth and a sense of humor, making it easier to explore difficult topics without feeling overwhelmed. This authentic, approachable style allows clients to connect deeply while also finding moments of levity and hope throughout their healing journey.
