You know you need counseling but don’t know how to squeeze it into your busy schedule.
In many cases, online, live-video counseling provides an experience that is very similar and just as effective as face to face in-person counseling done in an office setting.
Reasons To Try Online Counseling
It’s Convenient
These days, you might spend more time getting to your appointment than in the appointment itself! Online therapy lets you save time and forgo the typical weekly commute to and from our counseling office in Vancouver, WA.
You don’t have to hire a sitter if you are home with a napping baby or your kiddo is watching their favorite movie while you are meeting with your counselor through a video session.
Online counseling allows you to more quickly transfer the skills and insights you have learned in session to your life in real-time.
It’s Comfortable
Connect with a counselor from the comfort of your work, home, car, or anywhere you have a quiet space and a good internet connection or cell signal.
It’s Tested and Effective
You might be surprised to hear that distance therapy practices aren’t new. In fact, online mental health services are about as old at the internet itself, and other distance therapy methods—like phone counseling—have been around since the early 1950s. Years of research on telephone and video counseling services have shown that online therapy services can benefit you just as much as in-person sessions.
What You Need
All you need is a secure, high-speed internet connection. If you can stream Netflix without a hitch, you can meet with your counselor online!
Sessions are completed with Zoom – a secure and easy to use video platform.
When you SCHEDULE YOUR APPOINTMENT, a secure video link is created for your appointment and sent to you via email.
When it’s time for your scheduled appointment, click the link and we will be connected via the camera and audio on your computer, tablet, or cell phone.

“A family session took place with one family members in different cities. They were so grateful they could meet and talk and listen in this manner. The teenager said being in the same place we usually interrupt each other and it escalates much more. Online we have to be more patient and listen better. This really helped us. I liked being in my own home.”

“It’s nice to do family therapy even when my dad is in a different city right now. When we are in the same place, we usually interrupt each other and things escalate much more.
