Finding time for your mental health can be challenging, especially when work, relationships, health concerns, or other responsibilities make traveling to appointments difficult. I offer telehealth therapy for adults and couples throughout Florida from my office in St. Petersburg, providing convenient access to professional psychological care from a private location that works for you.
As a licensed psychologist, I believe therapy should consider the whole person. Mental and emotional concerns can affect the body, just as physical health and life circumstances can influence your psychological well-being. My telehealth sessions take this mind-body connection into account while providing individualized care based on your experiences, concerns, and goals.
What Can I Address Through Online Therapy?
Telehealth therapy can be used to address many of the same concerns that bring clients to my St. Petersburg office. My online therapy services include individual therapy and couples counseling for adults, with support for:
- Anxiety and anxiety disorders
- Trauma and PTSD
- Depression
- Grief and loss
- Women’s issues
- LGBTQIA+ concerns
- Chronic illness
- Career concerns and other life transitions
- Relationship difficulties
- General health and wellness concerns
I also provide married couples counseling for partners who want to improve communication, explore emotional patterns, work through conflict, or strengthen their relationship. I provide both short-term counseling and longer-term psychotherapy, depending on your needs.
Therapeutic Methods Tailored to You
There is no single therapy method that is appropriate for everyone, which is why I tailor my approach based on your circumstances and treatment goals. Throughout treatment, I take a collaborative approach. Rather than simply telling you what to do, I want to help you better understand yourself, recognize your strengths, and develop skills that promote greater confidence and independence.
Depending on your needs, therapy may incorporate cognitive behavioral techniques to examine unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, mindfulness strategies to strengthen awareness and emotional regulation, emotion-focused therapy, practical coping strategies, and trauma-informed care. I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a specialized treatment frequently used for trauma and PTSD. However, EMDR sessions are available in person at my St. Petersburg office rather than through telehealth.
