Why People Reach Out to a Therapist

There is no problem too small or too large to bring to therapy. Some people come in the middle of a crisis, and others come because something has felt off for a long time. Here are some of the most common reasons people reach out.

Depression

A heaviness that will not lift, losing interest in things you used to enjoy, trouble sleeping or sleeping too much, or simply feeling empty. Depression can make even small tasks feel enormous, and talking with a therapist is one of the most effective ways through it.

Anxiety

Constant worry, a racing mind, panic that seems to come from nowhere, or a tightness in your chest that will not settle. A therapist can help you understand what is driving the anxiety and give you practical ways to calm it.

Phobias

An intense fear of something specific, such as flying, driving, heights, or crowds, that starts to shape where you go and what you avoid. Phobias respond well to therapy, and working on them from a place where you already feel safe can make the first steps easier.

Grief and Loss

The death of someone you love, the end of a marriage, the loss of a job or of your health. Grief does not follow a schedule, and you do not have to carry it alone.

Life's Hard Transitions

Divorce, a move, retirement, caring for an aging parent, recovery from addiction, or a season of stress and burnout. Sometimes life changes faster than we can adjust, and a therapist can help you find your footing again.

Why Choose a Remote Psychotherapist?

Remote psychotherapy, also called telehealth or online therapy, is the same therapy you would receive in an office, delivered by a licensed therapist over a secure connection. For many people it is not a compromise at all. It is the reason they finally started.

No Commute, No Waiting Room

Your session begins where you already are. There is no traffic, no parking, and no sitting in a waiting room, so the time you set aside goes to you.

Privacy and Comfort

Many people find it easier to open up from their own couch, with a cup of tea in hand, than in an unfamiliar office. You choose the room, the lighting, and the room that you feel the most privacy in.

Easier to Keep Your Appointments

Busy workdays, young children, caregiving, or a long drive can make weekly therapy hard to sustain. Remote sessions fit into a lunch break or an evening, so it is easier to keep going.

Help When Getting Out Is Hard

When depression makes it hard to leave the house, when anxiety makes driving difficult, or when health, mobility, or weather get in the way, remote therapy means you do not have to miss the help you need.

A Better Fit, Not Just the Closest Office

You are not limited to whoever is nearby. You can choose a therapist anywhere in the state where you reside, based on what you want to work on, the insurance you carry, and who feels right for you.

Video or Phone

Most remote psychotherapists offer sessions by secure video, and many also offer phone sessions for anyone who would rather not be on camera.

Does Remote Therapy Really Work?

Research over the past two decades has found that therapy by video can be as effective as in-person therapy for many common concerns, including depression and anxiety. What matters most is the same in both settings: a good relationship with a therapist you trust, and showing up for yourself, week after week.

How It Works

Browse by the state you live in, then tell us briefly what you would like to work on and the insurance you have. Every therapist here is licensed in the state that they work in. When you reach out, your therapist will contact you to schedule a 15-minute free consultation, to determine if the two of you are a good fit. If yes, your remote psychotherapist will then schedule your first session with you.
