Should I Consider Online
Therapy/Counseling/Psychotherapy?
Solution-Focused Therapy Online
The purpose of therapy is to help you start living the life you want.
Life is not always a walk in the park. Everyone has struggles and experiences they would have rather skipped. Even when you are motivated and achieve things that others expect of you, the things you thought would lead to happiness, you may feel empty.
Other people see a wonderful life on the outside, but you feel sad, lonely, and overwhelmed on the inside. And to top it all off, you can’t admit your unhappiness to your family and friends.
Instead, you pull inward, and all they can see is an irritated and exhausted person. Your life is falling apart. You don’t know how long you can keep up the facade. You’re tired of living this way.
Solution-focused therapy is different from the therapy you see in the movies and on television. It is about making changes that move you toward your desired future. I’m not the kind of therapist who listens and nods while you cry and pour your heart out. I focus on facilitating the change you want . . . changing your thinking, changing your actions, and changing your lifestyle.
Therapy with me is about finding clarity and solutions that work for you, not reliving past disappointments and traumas.
Through our conversations, you can:
- Stop living your life based on your past
- Overcome emotional pain from past relationships
- Find your personal strength and self-esteem
- Deal with stress and anxiety in a healthy way
- Feel peaceful, content, and calm
- Find the motivation to do what you want to do
- Have deep, satisfying relationships
- Stop struggling
- Overcome your fears
During our time together, we will work on you and what’s important to you right now. You can navigate your everyday life with ease and fulfillment, hold the vision of what you want your life to be, and have the tools to make your vision happen. Psychotherapy can prepare you to live the life you want with the resilience, confidence, and determination to follow through.
You owe it to yourself to be who you really are. Therapy can help you begin to live your authentic life. Solution focused therapy in California can help you see things differently and find solutions that fit with your vision of your future.
Individual Online Adult Counseling
Individual therapy can be helpful for a variety of issues. You could need help managing stress and anxiety or dealing with pain or sleep problems. We will tailor your sessions to your needs and encompass your entire lifestyle. Together, we will take into account your life experiences, your physical and mental health, sleep patterns, habits, nutrition, exercise, relationships, and career.
We can clarify what you really want. The whole idea is to help you enjoy your life and thrive without holding onto discomfort or negative thoughts. Once you find a new perspective, you can embrace your strengths and build your life on your own. Therapy doesn’t have to last a long, long time.
Solution-focused therapy helps you get right to making the changes you want in your life.
Couples/Relationship Online Counseling
Stop yelling and crying. Start redefining your relationship. Listen. Love. Enjoy.
Sometimes, it takes a third person with a different perspective and compelling questions to get you to where you want to be in your relationship. Even if you decide it’s best for you to go separate ways, you can part amicably.
Solution-focused therapy for relationships helps you stay on track and work together as a team to build the life you want. You can communicate better, argue less, and enjoy each other’s company. It is possible for both of you to get your needs met when you figure out just what you want and what helps you get there.
Family Counseling/Parenting Counseling Online
Every parent wants what’s best for their family and to support their children as they grow into adults. Each child is unique and has different needs, strengths, and talents. Busy schedules shuttling kids here and there can get exhausting, making it difficult to be consistent and supportive.
Solution-focused therapy can help you become the best parent you can be. Bring your family together to resolve conflict. Say goodbye to constant bickering and sibling rivalry. When parents are on the same page, parenting becomes easier. Move your focus from frustration, hurt and anger to a more cooperative parenting style with a workable plan where everyone can be a lot more comfortable.
Adolescent Counseling Online
How do you know if your child needs therapy? Perhaps a teacher told you your child is struggling in school. This may be due to neurodiversity, attention or bullying, sensory issues, or learning differences. It might be that your child is going through a difficult phase. If you think your child is suffering from depression or anxiety or is having trouble socially, this may be the time to schedule an appointment for some professional help.
Knowing what is going on with kids can be difficult because they often have trouble communicating. They could need help with situations such as life or family changes, struggles at school, learning problems, divorce, grief, loss of a pet, or many other reasons. These problems can show up as behavior problems, isolation, and emotional outbursts.
The purpose of child therapy is to help your child express their feelings, get their needs met, increase self-worth, build emotional strength, and develop better relationships. If you think therapy might be right for your child, please call to set up your free 15-minute phone consultation to talk about your observations and concerns.
Online Group Therapy/Support Groups/Presentations
Occasionally, I run therapy groups and give presentations on different subjects, covering chronic illness, neurodiversity, personal development, parenting, addictions, and consultation for mental health professionals. Some of these are one-time presentations, and others are ongoing groups. Contact me for more information.
Online Video Therapy/Teletherapy/Telehealth
Solution-focused therapy naturally fits in an online environment. My entire practice is online and by telephone. I work with clients throughout these states:
California
Nevada
Florida
If you have family in any of these states, we can schedule family therapy sessions to address relationship issues, family decisions, caring for a family member, or other challenges your family is facing.
Sessions can include any mix of family members. Sometimes, all extended family members want to be included, and in other circumstances, it is best to work with only adults. It is common for adult siblings to work together in a session without children so they can focus on relationships and pressing family decisions.
Getting together in person can be challenging due to so many different schedules and locations. It can also be disruptive to families with small children. Solution-focused therapy online can help you connect even if you live many miles apart.
