how online therapy
can help

Online therapy is very similar to in-person therapy in a lot of ways, but it’s from the comfort of your own home. I support client’s who lead busy lives, but who also want a place to focus on themselves. Many of my clients are the helpers, or the ones who never take up space because they never have or don’t know how to. Through virtual therapy I can support you in learning how to be vulnerable, how to create a life that you feel proud of, and how to make sure you’re not always the one taking care of others. Life is hard, and while we can’t always change that, we can change how you move through it. I use tools such as somatic therapy, mindfulness, brainspotting, and relational therapy in session to support folks in navigating our work together. 

You can feel more alive.

Your life doesn’t have to be taken over by loud thoughts.

Your life can feel authentic and honest.

You don’t have to feel like an outsider.

You deserve to take up space.

Hi, I’m Emily, I provide telehealth therapy in Florida.

I love working as a telehealth therapist in Florida because it gives me the chance to connect and support folks from all over the state. Online therapy grew popular during the pandemic, but it’s continued to be used because it’s an easy way to take the work out of seeing a therapist.  As a queer identified therapist I have a focus on working with highly sensitive people in the LGBTQ community, but have supported individuals from all walks of life. I additionally have a focus in folks who have experienced trauma as well. Telehealth trauma therapy, in particular, through the use of Brainspotting, is a great resource and one that meets you where you’re at. You don’t have to go through this alone.

online therapy in Florida FAQs

 

+ How does online therapy in Florida work?

It's very similar to in-person therapy. The only difference is that all you need is a secure internet connection and a computer, phone, or tablet. From there, find a safe, confidential space, and I will provide you with access to the client portal on my website where you can login to join our virtual therapy session each week.

+ What happens if we lose connection?

If we lose internet connection then we will troubleshoot it first to see if we can fix it. If not, I will just give you a call and we will continue our session via phone.

+ Do I have to be at home?

You can be wherever feels safe and confidential for you. If that's at home in your PJ's in bed, then that's perfect. If that's in a conference room or your car, that's also great.

+ Is online therapy or virtual therapy as effective?

While a lot of folks feel like there is a different energy to online therapy, research shows that it is actually just as effective as in-person therapy. What is most important is actually the relationship you have with your therapist. I always stress how important fit is with your therapist, and that is one of the biggest indicators as to how effective therapy will be. Of course you have to put in the work too, but the therapeutic relationship is a really important foundation.

+ Is there anyone who online therapy isn't effective for?

Yes, there are instances where in-person is more appropriate. This includes folks who are actively experience suicidal thoughts or those with severe substance use and eating disorders. In those instances I do recommend seeking in-person treatment or a higher level of care. You are welcome to reach out to me if you are unsure about this and we can talk about it further.

Brainspotting is a powerful tool that can help individuals move through trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, stress, limiting beliefs and patterns, and so much more. Through brainspotting I help you identify, process, and release emotional experiences that are keeping you stuck. We can use brainspotting in addition to other therapies, or it can be used on it's own. Breainspotting has been shown to be just as effective virtually as it is in-person. I've had many folks notice changes after brainspotting with me virtually. Feel free to reach out to learn more about what a brainspotting session with me can look like!

My fee for a 50 minute session is $250.

I reserve a set amount of spots available for folks who currently need sliding scale. You are welcome to reach out to me to see if any of those are available.

Please contact your insurance company regarding out-of-network coverage verification for mental health services. Reimbursify is a great resource if you need support submitting for reimbursement.
