Online Therapy

Flexible scheduling and convenience for men, woman, and couples throughout Washington State.

No matter where you living in the great State of Washington, therapy can come to you.

You are already balancing a busy schedule and making time for therapy can be hard to do. Whether you live in Seattle, Spokane, Bellingham or a small town in between, online therapy gives you access to the support you need, when you need it.

Online counseling is a great option for those who:

  • Travel frequently or have challenging schedules (shift work, on call, etc.)

  • Have limited child care options

  • Live in remote areas or feel more comfortable at home

  • Have struggled to find a local therapist in your area who feels like a good fit.

  • Have difficulties making it into our office due to health restrictions, unfavorable weather conditions, and other unforeseen circumstances.

  • Sessions take place via a HIPAA-secure platform, much like Skype or Zoom. Prior to your appointment, a private link will be sent to your email. At the scheduled time, simply click the link to enter our virtual therapy room. Sessions are 50 minutes and available weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly according to your needs and goals.

    If you are interested in couples therapy but have a long-distance relationship, one of you travels, or you’re unable to be physically together, each of you can join sessions separately from wherever you are.

    Online therapy is all about offering you the best support possible in the way that’s most convenient for you.

  • All you need for online therapy sessions is a private space, a device with access to a camera and microphone, and a strong wifi connection.

    A laptop with a webcam or a cell phone both work well. And if you are able to stream Netflix (or similar services) without issues, then your internet will be able to handle video therapy sessions.

    Headphones can also help reduce audio interference and create a more connected experience.

  • It is understandable to wonder if online therapy is as effective as in-person therapy. Are you losing out on any benefits this way? Fortunately, studies show that you’re not: online counseling is equally as effective as face-to-face counseling in treating depression, panic disorders, and anxiety disorders (link).

    In my experience, many clients have found online counseling even more comfortable than traditional in-person therapy. Since sessions happen in a familiar environment, it’s often easier to open up and feel at ease.

    If you’re still not sure if online therapy is right for you, schedule a free consultation and we can discuss if this format can help meet your needs.

    Note: Online counseling is not appropriate for those actively in crisis. If you are experiencing thoughts of harming yourself or someone else, please call the suicide hotline 1-800-273-8255, call 911, or go to the nearest emergency room.

  • Contact us to schedule a free consultation. It’s important that you feel comfortable with your counselor, and we can help you decide if Shawn is the right fit for you.
