Individual therapy is a place to slow down and look at what's actually happening. Not just the surface-level frustration or anxiety, but the patterns underneath that keep showing up across your life. Whether you're looking for an online therapist, an online counselor, or an English-speaking therapist abroad. What matters is whether the person across from you can see what you can't.
Most people who come to me are intelligent and self-aware. And surprised that insight alone hasn't been enough. The patterns that keep you stuck are usually invisible from the inside; they feel like reality, not like a pattern. That's true whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, anger management, stress, grief, loneliness, relationship problems, self-esteem, burnout, procrastination, or something you can't quite name.
My role is to offer a perspective you can't give yourself. A way of seeing what your mind has been doing automatically, so that what felt unsolvable starts to look like a set of choices you didn't realize you had. Online counseling with a virtual counselor makes this work accessible from wherever you are. No commute, no waiting rooms, just the work itself.
What Brings People Here
The specifics differ. The structure underneath is usually the same.
What Sessions Look Like
Sessions are 60 minutes, conducted via HIPAA-compliant encrypted video. We meet weekly or biweekly, depending on what works for you. There's no fixed number of sessions. Some people work with me for a few months, others for longer. We'll both know when the work feels complete.
The work happens in the conversation itself, in the moments where something shifts and you see a situation differently than you did before. I'm not assigning homework or teaching coping skills. I'm paying close attention to what's happening between us, and I say what I notice. Sometimes that's a tension between what you're saying and how you're saying it. Sometimes it's a pattern that's shown up across multiple sessions. Sometimes it's something you said casually that seems more important than you realized.
We're not excavating your childhood or free-associating on a couch. We're looking at the specific ways your mind organizes experience, so that you can start making choices from a fuller picture rather than from the automatic one your brain has been running on.
Payment is out-of-pocket. I can provide receipts for your records. Before the first session, we have a brief 15-minute call to see if this feels like the right fit for you. If it is not the right fit, I will help you find someone better suited.
