Online therapy is the standard of care for most outpatient work now. It's not a workaround. It's how a lot of good therapy gets done.
Sessions are fifty minutes, on a HIPAA-compliant video platform. A few minutes before the session, you'll get a private link in your inbox. You click it, the video opens, and we work. Same rhythm as in-person, with the added benefit that you don't lose an hour to traffic before and after.
You need a private space, a reliable connection, and a device with a camera. That's it. A lot of clients end up doing sessions from a corner of their bedroom, a quiet office, or a parked car. The setup matters less than that you can actually focus.
I see clients across Oregon: Portland metro, Lake Oswego, Beaverton, Hillsboro, Tigard, Eugene, Bend, Salem, Hood River, Corvallis, and the smaller cities in between. Online means the practice doesn't end at the city limits.
The same work, in a format that holds.
Online therapy isn't a downgrade. The depth of the work is what matters, not the medium, and removing the commute lets more people actually stay in the work.
Some therapists treat telehealth as a downgrade. I don't. I've been practicing online for years and the depth of the work is what matters, not the medium. If anything, being in your own space tends to let people drop into the harder material faster.
Practical reality: online removes the friction that keeps a lot of people out of therapy. No commute, no parking, no childcare gap. Sessions can fit into a real schedule. That accessibility is part of why I work this way.
Insurance covers it the same way it covers in-person work. I bill directly. The session note is the same, the reimbursement is the same, the standard of care is the same. The only thing that changes is where you're sitting.
Questions I get asked about online therapy.
Is online therapy really as effective as in-person?
For most presentations, yes. The research from the last decade has consistently shown that telehealth therapy produces outcomes comparable to in-person work for anxiety, depression, trauma, and most relational issues. There are situations where in-person is preferred (active safety concerns, severe dissociation), and we'd talk about that during the consult.What do I need to do online therapy?
A private space, a reliable internet connection, a device with a camera (phone, tablet, laptop), and a pair of headphones if anyone else is in the home. I use a HIPAA-compliant video platform. You'll get a link a few minutes before each session and join from there.What if I don't have a private space at home?
Some clients do sessions from their car in a parking lot, from a friend's spare room, or from a quiet corner at the office during lunch. Privacy is what matters; the location is flexible. We've made it work in a lot of configurations.Do I need to live in Oregon for online therapy with you?
Yes, for in-network insurance billing. Post-COVID, insurance reimbursement requires that I hold licensure in your state, and that you're physically located in Oregon during sessions. If you're licensed-state adjacent (Washington), cash-pay is an option but not most clients' fit.Will I see you online or in person if I'm in Portland?
Online. I'm an online-only practice. That keeps the cost predictable, the schedule flexible for both of us, and the reach across Oregon possible. Online therapy is a different rhythm than in-person, and most clients adjust to it quickly.
