Teletherapy: Online Therapy
Secure & Effective Online Therapy in Seattle and Across Washington State
When the pandemic came in 2020, many people in Seattle and across Washington weren’t sure what to expect from online therapy. At first, it felt unfamiliar to meet on a screen instead of in an office. But something surprising happened—online therapy works. Research consistently shows that virtual therapy is just as effective as in-person care for many issues, including anxiety, depression, and trauma-related stress.
What began as a necessary adjustment has become a preferred way to access therapy. Virtual sessions make high-quality care available wherever you are in Washington, all through secure, HIPAA-compliant platforms designed to protect your privacy and connection.
Why Online Therapy Works
Therapy doesn’t have to happen in the same room to be powerful, supportive, and deeply meaningful. In fact, many people find that they open up more easily in their own environment. Virtual therapy also increases access to care—especially for people balancing work, parenting, or living outside major metro areas.
- Flexibility – Fit therapy into your life without commuting or rearranging your schedule.
- Accessibility – Reach a licensed therapist from anywhere in Washington, from Tacoma to Spokane to Bellingham.
- Privacy – Meet from a private space at home or another quiet spot—some clients even use a parked car for extra confidentiality.
- Comfort – Being in your own space can help you feel more relaxed, making therapy conversations flow more naturally.
Which therapy methods work well in online sessions?
Many of the same evidence-based and experiential approaches we use in person also work beautifully online. Our therapists tailor each method to your needs, goals, and style. These may include:
- The Gottman Method Couples Therapy – Practical tools for improving communication, connection, and conflict resolution in relationships.
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) – A deeply supportive approach for helping couples strengthen emotional bonds and reduce conflict.
- The Developmental Model – A growth-oriented framework that helps partners deepen differentiation, intimacy, and relational maturity.
- Internal Family Systems (IFS) – A compassionate, parts-based approach for healing emotional wounds, reducing overwhelm, and building self-leadership.
- AASECT-Informed Sex Therapy – Affirming guidance for understanding desire, intimacy, and sexual connection for individuals, couples, and polycules.
- Somatic Therapies – Body-based awareness techniques that help regulate the nervous system, release tension, and support trauma healing.
- Solution-Focused Therapy – A strengths-based, forward-looking method that helps you identify clear goals and build momentum toward change.
All of these approaches translate seamlessly to online sessions. You’ll receive the same level of attunement, insight, and support that you would in person.
When In-Person Therapy Might Be a Better Fit
For most people, telehealth is highly effective. However, in-person sessions may be recommended when someone is in acute crisis, has severe symptoms that require immediate support, or doesn’t yet have a private, stable space for virtual therapy. We’ll always discuss what’s best for your safety and success during the intake process.
