Online Therapy in Virginia

Whatever is going on, an online therapist in Virginia can help.

Feeling so sad that you can’t just help but cry?

Finding yourself at the point of yelling or screaming about things others would think of as insignificant?

So depressed that you just want to turn out the lights so you can’t see yourself or anyone else?

If so, online therapy might be the right way to get help.

Online therapy is basically just like in-office therapy…

Research has shown that online therapy is effective for a wide variety of mental health problems.

Also, like in-person therapy, your privacy will be protected. We’ll use a HIPAA-compliant video platform, which means that the connection will be secure and your confidentiality protected in an online world.

The most important thing in therapy is the connection between the therapist and the client, and we’ll have that connection online—just as we would in person.

And there are advantages to doing online therapy…

No one will see you going to the “therapist’s office.”

You won’t have to take time off work or explain things to your boss. You can even meet during your lunch break!

And scheduling couldn’t be easier. Just a couple of clicks on the calendar… and you are all set!

So… pretty easy, right?

When online therapy isn’t a good fit…

Online therapy is not right for you if you have a current plan for suicide. Instead, please call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at (800) 273-8255 or dial 911 and get help immediately.

If you have significant medical problems or are experiencing a medical emergency, online therapy may not be an effective choice. Please go to your local hospital or call 911 as needed.

Finally, if you have inadequate Internet access, online therapy will not work for you. Please do not use public Wi-Fi, as that connection might not be secure, leaving your private information vulnerable.

Basic dos and don’ts of online therapy…

Do…

Test your Internet connection before the session to ensure that everything works well, and your signal is strong.

Use a device with a webcam, like a laptop, smartphone, or tablet.

Find a private space that’s free of distractions and noise.

Don’t…

Don’t join the session if you are driving a car. Distracted driving is not safe. If you drive your car during the session, I will ask to reschedule and end the call, and you will be charged as if this were a no-show.

Don’t have your child or teen participate in the session in a moving vehicle, even if they are the passenger.

Don’t do your therapy session in public places like stores, parks, restaurants, etc. Therapy works best when it is free of distractions and private. If you’re not able to meet in private space on the day of your session, please call and reschedule for a time when you know you can be at home.

Ready to Start Online Therapy in Virginia to Lead a More Authentic Life?

Your childhood was crap. With therapy at Gray Horse Counseling, your future doesn’t have to be. I work with adults who have dysfunctional families (family life). When you were a kid, your family life sucked. So, you’ve adapted to behave at home and out in public very differently. This “split” that worked so well for you as a child is no longer working. How do you live a more congruent life? How do you deal with that internal conflict?

You want to be more authentic in your connections, but this internalized trauma response keeps holding you back. I get it. Your childhood was crap and you didn’t get a chance to truly figure out who you are. It wasn’t safe to be YOU anywhere. Now, this is affecting your relationships, friendships, work relationships, family life, children, how you feel about yourself, all of it.

Back then, you didn’t get to tell anyone. As an online therapist in Virginia, I get to be that person for you. Maybe how you ended up coping with this childhood trauma led to an anxiety disorder, chronic depression, and unmanageable addiction. Let me be clear, there is no right or wrong way to cope. But, these coping skills are no longer serving you the same way they used to. So, let’s figure it out. Consider online therapy in Virginia, individual or group therapy, or meet me for equine-assisted therapy in Powhatan, VA, Let’s get this stuff figured out so you can finally live a better life. Today is the day. What are you waiting for?
