Online Therapy in Utah
You may already feel hesitant to go to therapy because you’re used to figuring things out all on your own. As if it’s not vulnerable enough to start therapy, the part of finding a therapist that fits you and your needs can feel even more overwhelming. If you are at the point where you want to go to therapy and get help, you likely want to see someone that really knows how to help you with what you are struggling with. I have heard my clients share how they hate having to retell their stories over and over again while trying to find the right therapist. Part of the barrier to finding the right therapist is having someone that specializes in your concerns that you can see on a weekly basis.
Online therapy in Utah makes getting the therapy you need much easier.
I know from having experienced living in rural parts of Utah how hard it is to have access to even simple things from Wal-Mart let alone being able to have access to therapy services when you’re struggling. Living among the mountains has its perks, and I know many people who travel more than an hour just to get to therapy every week. That’s why I provide therapy online through video, which is surprisingly not much different than doing therapy in person. Online therapy is like FaceTime or Skype but on a more secure and HIPAA-compliant platform. I know therapy is already a vulnerable experience, and being able to stay in your own home in the comfort of your sweats pants and couch can make the experience a little more comfortable.
Online Therapy in Utah helps you have access to a therapist that can you with your specific needs
Whether you are struggling with your mental health, it is critical to work with a therapist with specialized training. It can be hard to find someone with experience with treating your mental health concern. where you live, and you shouldn’t have to drive long distances to get the treatment you need. This is why I provide therapy online through video sessions so that no matter where you are in Utah, you can get the treatment that you need and deserve. Online therapy is not less effective than meeting face to face for a therapy session. I know there’s the concern that maybe you receive the same benefits if you do it online. However, if you meet with a therapist that is experienced in online therapy, you will be surprised to find that its equally as effective and for some people, even more, effective to do therapy online.
The benefits of Online Therapy
Traffic sucks, and sometimes it’s just easier to stay home for a therapy session to cut down on the travel time. I know that finding arrangements for kiddos or interrupting a babe’s nap time is no joke, and therapy doesn’t have to disrupt your whole routine. In Utah, it seems to snow all year round so online takes the stress out of driving in bad weather. I want the experience to be as easy on you as possible. You’re welcome to online therapy sessions regardless of where you live.
*Pro-tip: make sure you have a private place to be able to do sessions (a closet will do) and some earphones to respect your privacy and confidentiality.
Online EMDR Therapy
EMDR therapy is an incredible and powerful therapy that I’ve seen reduce PTSD symptoms in women. It can be done effectively online by using bilateral audio stimulation. I have worked with many clients through EMDR online therapy who have been able to overcome trauma and reduce the impact of trauma on their daily lives.
Online Eating Disorder Therapy
I started offering online counseling because I realized that people in the city that had become my home didn’t have access to an eating disorder therapist. Not to be dramatic, but I lost sleep over trying to figure out how to provide eating disorder therapy to clients outside of Utah County. This was before the pandemic when online counseling became normal. Now I am able to help women all throughout Utah recover from their eating disorders using online therapy.
Online Binge Eating Disorder Treatment
When you struggle with binge eating disorder, you are filled with shame and embarrassment. I know many women who have put off getting treatment for binge eating disorder because they didn’t want to feel judged. If using online therapy makes it easier for you to reach out for help, I am hyped! It’s just as effective as in-person therapy, and you can access a trained therapist who treats your struggle.
Online Anxiety Therapy
I love providing anxiety therapy to clients online. Many of the women I work with struggle with high-functioning anxiety and like the access to an online therapist whom they don’t have to leave work, school, or home to see. This is an added bonus if you get anxious about trying to find an office where your appointment will be.
Online Body Image Therapy
Body image therapy, like the other mental health services listed, can effectively be treated with online counseling. You do not have to meet with a therapist in person in order to heal your body image. An important goal of body image therapy is to focus on helping you dress comfortably to put less energy into thinking about your body. Online therapy can help you show up to online sessions by practicing dressing comfortably.
