My practice is online only so I do not have a physical office. All therapy and coaching sessions are provided via webcam. Online therapy and coaching is an ideal option for people who travel often, the immuno-compromised, or for anyone who would prefer to skip the commute to an office.

For therapy and coaching services, I only see adults (aged 18 and older) individually. For coaching services, you can reside anywhere with an internet connection to see me. To initiate therapy services with me, you must be a Florida or New York resident. Therapy practice is governed by state licensing boards and therefore online therapy across the state lines is not possible. Online sessions are not suitable when you are experiencing acute distress or when you recognize that you are in danger of hurting yourself and/or others. In such instances, please call 911. If you are not in immediate danger but would like to speak with someone, you can reach the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255. If you are unsure whether I would be a good fit for you as a therapist or coach, email me or schedule a free 20 minute consultation with me.

Both counseling and coaching enable individuals to pursue personal growth through supportive reflection, insight, and skills training. For more information on the differences between counseling and coaching, please read my post on the topic.

Multiple studies indicate that online therapy is just as effective (if not more, in some cases) than traditional in-person therapy. For more information on the research on the effectiveness of online therapy, read more here.

All video sessions are conducted via a HIPAA compliant and highly secure site. All paperwork is completed through an online portal and stored in a secure online vault. Any online communication via email is also secure and encrypted. For more information regarding the secure online client portal and my encrypted email service, you can visit the Simple Practice ,Doxy, and Hushmail websites.

Sessions are 50 minutes long. If you would like to schedule a longer session, please contact me so I can see how I can accomodate you.

-Find a quiet, distraction-free space for the duration of session.

-Check your WiFi or network connection prior to the session.

-It can be optimal to use headphones with a microphone so that you can be hand's free.

-Turn your phone on vibrate or silent and let others know that you will be unavailable during your session time.
