Online Therapy and Counseling for Women with Anxiety in Hawaii, Florida, Colorado & Louisiana
“I don’t have time to go talk to a therapist”
“I don’t have a babysitter to watch my kids so I can go to counseling.”
“There is no one in my community that can help me cope with the challenges I am having.”
“It takes too long to drive across town to get to my therapists office.”
These are common things I hear many women say when they talk about getting mental health care. Because, it’s not easy to get away to go to a traditional therapy office and meet with a counselor. And, even if you could, it can be challenging to find a therapist that you connect with and feel comfortable talking to. But, getting help from a therapist doesn’t have to be an added chore on your never ending to-do list.
Online therapy can help!
As an online therapist, I meet with all my clients through a secure video platform for counseling sessions. This allows you to schedule an appointment at a time that works for you. We can schedule counseling sessions during your lunch break, while the kids are napping, or even in between meetings. All you need is a secure internet connection, and a phone, tablet, or computer. Once we connect, we can have a therapy session from the convenience of your couch or car, or even a park or the beach. We can meet in whatever space feels the most comfortable to you.
As an online therapist, I can treat a variety of mental health concerns
During online therapy, I treat a variety of different mental health concerns that are keeping you from living your life to the fullest. I specialize in helping women who are struggling with depression and anxiety, women who have survived trauma, women who are struggling with grief or loss, moms who need support with postpartum anxiety and depression, or dealing with the demands of motherhood. I also specialize in helping military spouses cope with the challenges and stress that accompanies military life.
I see my clients as individuals and therefore tailor my therapeutic approach to meet their unique needs and personalities. Some of the common forms of therapy I use in my online therapy sessions are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, Trauma-Informed CBT, and Emotional Freedom Technique/Tapping (EFT). Ultimately, my goal is to help you achieve emotional wellness and find inner peace.
Please note, due to the laws that regulate my license as an LCSW, I am only able to provide online mental health services to residents of the state of Louisiana, Hawaii, Florida, and Colorado
