Do you need help?
People seek video counseling for several reasons, including addictions, anxiety, depression, interpersonal challenges at work or school, trauma, gender identity, and other mental health issues. My video counseling sessions can help you overcome uncomfortable feelings and help you regain the feeling of being in control of your own mental health and physical health.
If you are living in a remote regions with limited transport access, or are isolated due to mobility concerns, video counseling can eliminate this issue. The use of technology assists in the provision of therapeutic services and allows me to implement affordable, feasible support options and improve your access to therapy across geographical distances.
Asking for help requires courage and strength. Opening up in person can feel difficult; video sessions provide a unique experience to feel safer to open up.

Background Information about Video/Online Counseling
Video counseling or online counseling has become much more common recently. In video counseling sessions, we can interact face to face, as we would if you were meeting me in-person. Most of my clients report that they feel just as comfortable interacting in video sessions as they did when they came for in-person sessions. During the pandemic, it has allowed clients with anxiety to feel significantly less worried as a result of being in their own home.
Online and video counseling today provides holistic healing options. Through a strong client-therapist relationship built on integrity, empathy and a positive connection. These video counseling sessions can help you overcome a diverse array of mental health challenges.
Why People Seek Video Counseling
Face time and other types of video communication have become part of our lives, and have become normal modes of interacting with friends and family. Many of my clients feel that video counseling is the best way for them to interact and speak about meaningful emotional issues since they have been interacting this way with loved ones who are far away for quite some time.
Another reason why people seek video counseling rather than in-person counseling is that online sessions provide flexibility. You may miss your in-person therapy session if you are stuck in traffic or have trouble leaving work on time. This can happen to anyone, but with video counseling, you’ll never miss your session due to these reasons. You can join the session from your office or your home.
