Teletherapy: Online Therapy

Secure & Effective Online Therapy in Seattle and Across Washington State

When the world changed 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.

Therapy Methods That Translate Seamlessly Online

Many of the same evidence-based therapies we use in person also work beautifully online. Our therapists tailor each approach to your needs and goals. These may include:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – A structured, practical approach for reducing anxiety, depression, and unhelpful thinking patterns.
  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) – A skills-based method combining CBT with mindfulness and emotion regulation to help manage intense feelings and improve relationships.
  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) – A gentle, trauma-focused therapy that helps you process painful experiences in a safe, guided way—even virtually.

Our online sessions are designed to be interactive, personal, and effective. You’ll receive the same level of attention, expertise, and care as 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.

Whether you’re in South Lake Union, Yakima, Spokane, or the Olympic Peninsula, you can connect with our licensed therapists online. Emma, Maggie, Lisa, Lindsey, Rosa, and Justin offer both in-person and virtual sessions. Corey, Misa, and Hyacinth work exclusively online.

What You Can Work On in Online Therapy

We offer online support for individuals and couples working on goals such as:

  • Improving communication and intimacy
  • Managing anxiety, depression, or burnout
  • Healing from trauma or betrayal
  • Navigating identity, attachment, or major life transitions
  • Strengthening relationships or resolving recurring conflicts
  • Finding balance and purpose in midlife and beyond

Whether you’re seeking individual counseling, relationship therapy, or marriage counseling, you can do it all virtually—from the comfort and privacy of your own space.

Creating Your Private Session Space

To protect confidentiality, all you need is a secure internet connection and a quiet, private place. Many clients use their office, bedroom, or parked car. We’ll help you troubleshoot any setup questions so you can feel comfortable and connected during every session.
