Does Online Therapy Work? 

I currently offer both in-person sessions (in Pembroke Pines, Florida), as well as therapy sessions via tele-health. I conduct tele-health sessions from my private office and use a HIPAA compliant online platform for the utmost protection of your private health information. For children under the age of 10, I do not offer the option of a tele-health session because I believe it is most beneficial for them to engage with a therapist in-person.

Studies have shown that Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), a type of treatment that I specialize in, can be done effectively online. Personally, I have found that if we both treat and honor this virtual space just as we would an in-office session, we can be very successful in maintaining the connection that we feel in person.
 
In addition, with online therapy, there is no commute time, and some find it comforting to be able to meet from a cozy area within their own home.

What Does an Online Therapy Session Look Like?

We will first meet for an intake consultation (75 minutes) to understand your main concerns and discuss an appropriate treatment plan. If we agree to work together, we will then set up a regular time to meet weekly (follow-up sessions are 50 minutes).

You will have a link that you will use each week to access our virtual sessions. Please note that because I am licensed in Florida, I can only work with individuals who reside in Florida. 
To make the best of our online therapy session, it is recommended that you are in a quiet, comfortable, and private space. If you cannot think of a space like this that you can access, we can try to brainstorm some alternatives. 
 
If you are interested in starting online therapy, I’d love to join you on this challenging but empowering journey.
