Online Counseling in Iowa

Online counseling brings the comfort and care available in my office directly to you by way of video chatting. Research says it’s as effective as in-person therapy and may offer additional benefits like skipping traffic and waiting rooms.

Mental health counseling or psychotherapy aims to support you in processing and resolving emotional and mental challenges, from chronic stress to depression. This may be done in different formats, including virtual or remote therapy.

Tips for teletherapy sessions

If you’re new to psychotherapy, or specifically to online therapy, consider these tips:

  • Protect your privacy by choosing a location where no one else can hear your conversation.

  • Find a spot free of distractions to help you focus on the session. This could be in your home, car, or private office.

  • Double check your internet or phone connection to ensure you don’t have technical difficulties during your session.

  • Wearing headphones may help block out background noise and make the interaction easier.

  • Keep a notebook handy if you want to take notes or jot down questions for later.

  • Make a list of questions for your therapist about how the therapy will work, what to expect in each session, or what happens if you lose connectivity.

  • Try to keep a sense of humor — there’s often a learning curve to teletherapy for both therapist and client.
