Online Therapy

Are you searching for a therapist who specializes in trauma, anxiety, or another mental health concern—but having trouble finding someone local? Do you need a flexible and convenient way to start therapy that works with your busy schedule? Have you considered online therapy but weren’t sure if it would be effective?


I’m proud to offer online therapy services to clients throughout California. Whether you call it teletherapy, virtual counseling, telehealth, or e-therapy—it all refers to the same thing: connecting with a licensed mental health professional in a secure, online setting.

Online therapy makes it easier than ever to access the support you need, no matter where you are.

Why Choose Online Therapy in California?

Online therapy offers a wide range of benefits, starting with one of the most important: convenience. For many people—especially those in rural or underserved areas—local access to mental health services can be limited. You may have been searching for a therapist who specializes in something specific, like PTSD, and found few options nearby. With online therapy, your search opens up statewide, allowing you to connect with a qualified specialist from anywhere in California.

While my physical office is based in Carlsbad, I enjoy working with clients all across the state—from Northern to Central to Southern California. The beauty of online therapy is that geography no longer limits your access to expert care.

Online therapy is especially helpful for:

  • New parents or caregivers supporting a loved one at home
  • Individuals with medical conditions that make traveling difficult
  • Busy professionals with limited time in their day
  • People working remotely or with flexible schedules
  • Caregivers who can’t easily leave the house
  • Professionals who prefer a therapist outside of their immediate community or professional network

No matter your situation, online therapy offers a practical, private, and effective way to receive support from trained mental health professionals.

Additional benefits include screen sharing during sessions to review resources together, giving you access to useful tools in real time. Plus, being in the comfort of your own space often helps clients feel more relaxed, which can lead to deeper, more meaningful conversations during therapy.

Online Therapy with Kathleen

I understand that today, there are more options than ever when it comes to finding mental health support. What sets my practice apart is the combination of professional training, clinical expertise, and a genuine, compassionate approach to therapy. I believe that the connection you have with your therapist is just as important as the tools and techniques we use—and I strive to build a warm, trusting relationship with each client.

My goal is to offer personalized, effective care. I use evidence-based methods and tailor each treatment plan to fit your unique needs and goals. Whether you're seeking support for a specific mental health concern or looking to grow personally, I’m here to guide you toward real, lasting change.

You won’t find a one-size-fits-all approach here. I’ll meet you where you are, provide targeted, supportive care, and help you move toward your goals as efficiently and meaningfully as possible.

I Have Refined My Approach to Online Psychotherapy

Over the past few years, I’ve refined how I provide online therapy to ensure it’s just as effective and engaging as in-person sessions. For EMDR, I even use a specialized telehealth platform designed specifically to deliver this therapy in a targeted and effective way. I’ve adapted my approach to offer the highest quality care through virtual sessions—and I genuinely enjoy working with clients online.

Because of the flexibility and success I’ve seen, I plan to continue offering online therapy well into the future, alongside my in-person services.

Does Online Therapy Work?

Providing high-quality psychotherapy is a top priority for me. With over 25 years of experience in the mental health field, I’ve come to truly value the importance of offering effective, meaningful care—and that’s one of the reasons I continue to offer online therapy.

Research has consistently shown that virtual therapy can be just as effective as in-person sessions. I’ve witnessed firsthand how powerful and transformative online therapy can be for my clients. And ultimately, that’s the goal—to help you feel better, grow stronger, and become the best version of yourself.

I'm proud to provide this type of support across the State of California. Online therapy has made it possible for me to connect with people who may not have had access to care otherwise—whether due to distance, mobility challenges, or busy schedules. It's a flexible, effective way to receive the support you deserve.
