Online Counseling & Coaching

I am accepting online counseling & coaching clients through Zoom or FaceTime! This allows us to work together if you are outside my local area or prefer working online. I find this work supportive and effective. I invite you to contact me to schedule our first session today.

I am experienced and ready to support you, whether you need Holistic Counseling or Coaching as an individual, a couple, a family, or a group.

I’ve been a Social Worker, Counselor, Educator, Community Organizer, Life Coach, Reiki Counselor, Teacher, Mentor, Traditional Usui Reiki Teaching Master, and Spiritual Guide since 1995.

The job title and description change, but the work is the same: listening, sharing, holding, breathing, meditating, laughing, crying, and caring. The bulk of my training has come from excellent supervisors, mentors, and the incredible clients I’ve been connected with over the years.

My work is brief holistic counseling and coaching. We typically work together for 6 to 18 months, or 25-50 sessions, depending on your treatment plan and specific needs.

You will be given “homework assignments” to work on between sessions. These “assignments” will be a mix of internal (reflection/awareness) and external (research/actions) to aid your growth and development. My experience over the last 30 years has demonstrated that the work between sessions creates the momentum, hope, and focus to achieve what we are working on in a short time. This is what makes Brief Holistic Counseling so effective! When we have an “expiration date”, we become highly motivated to succeed and shift the challenges we are experiencing!

Additionally, I’ve trained and/or supervised over four hundred professionals and para-professionals working with youth, adults, families, and communities.

If you have questions or concerns, you can schedule a free fifteen minute consultation to ensure we are a good fit.

Advantages of Online Therapy

A Good Option for Remote Areas

Online therapy offers access to mental health information to people in rural or remote areas. Those who live in such areas might not have access to any other form of mental health treatment because there are no mental health practices in their geographic area. E-therapy gives these individuals access to treatment that they might not have otherwise.

Accessibility for Those With Physical Limitations
Online therapy provides accessibility to individuals who are disabled or housebound. Mobility can be a big issue when it comes to accessing mental health care. Individuals who cannot leave their homes for various reasons, such as physical or mental illness, may find online therapy a useful alternative to traditional psychotherapy settings.

Online Therapy Makes Information More Accessible

It Can Also Be an Educational Tool

E-therapy can be an important tool to help people learn more about psychological health. Even if you feel your mental well-being is strong, online therapy can help you become psychologically stronger. You can learn more about health behaviors and coping strategies to improve psychological health.”

Online Counseling & Coaching For Folks On The Move

Some people have very fluid lives. Due to family, relationships, or work, they often travel or are on the road. This makes it hard for those who want support to connect with their counselor frequently and/or consistently. Online counseling is an alternative or supplemental treatment for those who just can’t commit to regular in-person counseling or coaching.

Online Counseling: Couples Living In Separate Locations

Some couples live in different homes or share a home plus another home elsewhere due to family, work, or school. We all know how challenging long-distance relationships can be. All you have to do is watch late-night TV to witness sitcoms and romantic comedies about these challenges. Online counseling can be a solution since you can meet with the same couple’s counselor simultaneously from your separate locations. I have experienced tremendous success working with long-distance couples who struggle to receive support and guidance during rough patches in their relationship.

Online Counseling: More Comfortable In Your Living Room?

Some folks among us feel safer and more comfortable in the privacy of their own home. In the past, this was an obstacle for those who wanted counseling or coaching but did not feel safe or comfortable meeting in an office. This can be especially true for some people who have experienced extreme trauma(s). Online counseling is an alternative or a stepping stone to in-person counseling or coaching.
