Some methods I use to create change in my
coaching
sessions include: tapping/EFT, visualizations, identifying and changing unhelpful beliefs, creating awareness of inner dialogues and actively changing these to reduce the power of negative emotions and to work towards maintaining a consistent feeling of inner peace and self-love, regardless of circumstances.
Greetings! I am a queer, non-binary mental health and mindset coach (my pronouns are they/them). My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space in which we can explore what is happening for you, along with building up resources to enable you to feel more resilient and empowered in your everyday life.

Are you feeling lost? Out of control, burned out, stuck, or like an imposter? Are you or your loved ones repeating behaviors, relationships, or situations, and wishing you could break the cycle? Maybe little things feel more stressful than usual. Sometimes, we aren't sure what causes our distress, but we can sense we're not reaching our potential for health, happiness, or success. Even when we know the cause, change can still feel impossible. That's where I come in. My job is not to judge you; it's to listen, help you understand the root causes of your difficulties, and teach you practical tools to help change your life.

Teletherapy
Teletherapy and Online counseling have grown enormously as a medium for therapy since the advent of social distancing. Most therapists are happy to provide sessions by video or phone.
All professionals are licensed to provide video therapy to clients within the State in which they hold their license. Cross State licensing exists, but is rare.
So if you're a client in California, this list of teletherapists are licensed to provide therapy to you online (by phone, video or text based chat) because they are within your state. They are sorted nearest to furthest, with professionals in California listed first.
Teletherapy via phone or video can be very similar to conventional in person sessions. The message is the same, even if the medium is different. There are some advantages in the form of convenience, lack of travel and being in comfort of your own home. Set against those, professionals find it more difficult to read non-verbal signals of their clients, and you may find you yourself can be more easily distracted.
