I would like to be your Online Counseling resource, working together as you make the changes you have been putting off.
Your counseling is a time for personal growth that requires a collaborative relationship between the client and the therapist, and the creation of a "safe" atmosphere that is based on trust, warmth, and genuineness. I tailor my approach to each client's goals, and use techniques that have been shown to be effective. In general, we will work together to establish your goals for counseling and I will suggest the use of an appropriate therapeutic approach. In addition, I will use a variety of techniques and tools that you can use to achieve your therapeutic goals.

Children are a gift but that doesn’t mean parenting is easy. Looking for therapy options for your child means you are about to entrust them to someone else, hoping to see them flourish and maybe bring that smile back. If you choose me, you will be an integral part of the therapy process. My hope is to help you connect and understand each other better, and eventually work my way out of a job. I offer services for children 3 – 14 years old who are having difficulty adjusting to a new thing, have experienced loss, depression, anxiety, ADHD, bullying, or behavioral issues.

Some of the things that happened while you were growing up, you knew you weren’t supposed to talk about, and you’ve kept them secret or hidden all these years. Your family seemed "normal", but you don’t think others experienced the same thing. You wonder if those incidents are impacting your life now. And if they are part of why it’s so hard to set boundaries. Or perhaps why it’s impossible to maintain long-lasting relationships. Is your childhood where your constant anxiety, self-sabotage, need for control, and fear of abandonment come from?

My ideal clients are middle-aged Hispanic females who are married and have children. They may struggle with disturbed sleep, excessive worry, feeling overwhelmed, lack of motivation, trouble concentrating, and feeling under-appreciated. They are experiencing difficulties "juggling" their roles at home, work, and parenting responsibilities. They have expressed a desire to feel "normal" and "efficient", and to be a "good mother, spouse and employee." The end goal would be a reduction of anxiety and depression symptoms, returning to a normal level of function, practicing self-care, and enhancing time management skills.

Online Therapists

Is online therapy as effective as in-person?

Numerous studies suggest that online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy. However, further research is needed to determine if online therapy provides the same benefits across all client populations. Individuals with severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, or those who may benefit from in-person check-ins, like those with eating disorders, may not experience the same level of benefit from online therapy. Nonetheless, the success of online therapy, much like in-person therapy, often hinges on the quality of the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client rather than the specific modality of therapy used.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of therapy conducted online?

One of the main advantages of online therapy is its convenience for both clients and therapists. It also allows clients who require specialized therapy to access a wider range of professionals than they could with only in-person sessions. Additionally, online therapy may be a more affordable option in some cases and often offers the same insurance benefits as in-person therapy. However, online therapy may not be suitable for everyone, especially those who value face-to-face interaction with a therapist. Therapists may find it more challenging to assess clients accurately in an online setting due to reduced nonverbal cues on camera. There is also the increased risk that disruptions caused by external factors, such as technology malfunctions, can hinder the therapy session. For these reasons, many therapists offer a "hybrid" therapeutic approach, alternating between seeing clients in-person and online.

Is online therapy suitable for children and adolescents?

Just like with adults, the accessibility and convenience of online therapy can greatly benefit children and adolescents. In fact, children and adolescents may be more accustomed to navigating online platforms than older adults, making online sessions feel more natural for them. Teens might also be interested in using additional online tools, such as therapist-recommended apps, as an adjunct to online therapy sessions. Apps for developing CBT skills, practicing mindfulness exercises, or tracking thoughts and moods can be helpful for teens receiving therapy. However, it's important to note that not all therapeutic modalities are well-suited to online therapy, especially those used with younger children. For example, play therapy, which helps younger children express their emotions, often requires in-person sessions to be fully effective.

Can I receive prescriptions and medication management with online therapy?

The ability for psychiatrists to prescribe medications through online therapy varies based on the medication and the states where the medical professional and client are located. While many prescribing regulations were relaxed during the COVID-19 pandemic, some states still enforce rules, especially concerning controlled substances, which may mandate an in-person visit before prescribing. Generally, however, medical professionals can prescribe non-controlled substances through online therapy sessions just as they do during in-person sessions.
