NEW TO VIDEO COUNSELING?

If convenience, flexibility or privacy are a priority, video sessions are an ideal solution—meet remotely with any device from the comfort of home or office...

COUNSELING VS PSYCHOTHERAPY-WHICH IS RIGHT FOR YOU?

I specialize in counseling—we can meet in my Austin office or online via video sessions. Counseling generally requires less time than traditional therapy for many common issues. While both approaches can help you make changes in yourself, your relationships, and your life. and share some aspects in common, there are important differences.

HOW DO I CONNECT VIA ONLINE VIDEO?

Connecting via video is simple, secure, and free! The teleconferencing app I uses the highest security standard (direct peer-to-peer) and works with any Android and iOS device. The teleconferencing app is intuitive provides connection stability across long distances, allowing us to connect from remote areas almost anywhere in the country or across the globe!

IS VIDEO COUNSELING ONLINE AS EFFECTIVE AS IN-PERSON COUNSELING/COACHING?

Yes. In a number of research studies on effectiveness, remote web-based video treatment was found to be equally, and in some cases, even more effective, than traditional in-office counseling or therapy.

CAN I USE INSURANCE FOR VIDEO COUNSELING?

[NOTE: I AM NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING INSURANCE REFERRALS]. Sometimes—health insurance coverage has increased dramatically in recent years for online video counseling (aka "telehealth' or "telemedicine)." Coverage varies by plan and from state to state. Telehealth for mental and behavioral health services are mandated by Texas law for certain types of plans.
