Online Therapy in California
If you are a resident of California, I can help you heal your trauma, attachment wounds, anxiety, and depression through online therapy.
Do you need support, but can’t make it to an in-person appointment? Are you a busy stay-at-home or working parent, and don’t have the time to drive across town for an appointment?
Perhaps you live in San Francisco, San Diego, or Los Angeles and you just don’t have the time or energy to sit in traffic for an hour each way trying to get to a counseling appointment. Or maybe you need to do therapy during your lunch hour from your office?
Do you live in a more rural area where it is harder to access counseling? Or maybe you prefer to just do things online therapy from the comfort of your own home?
If any of these apply to you, I can help you through online therapy.
What is Online Therapy?
Teletherapy allows me to provide counseling and therapy in California to my clients online. This can be done anywhere you have a computer, tablet, or smartphone.
I use an online telehealth platform that we will use to meet virtually face to face.
Is Online Therapy Effective?
Research shows that online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy in many instances. There are times (for example, if there are safety concerns at home) when teletherapy may not be a good fit.
For most people, however, it is a question of what is better for you. Do you prefer the convenience of online therapy? Do you prefer the feeling of being in person?
Benefits of Online Therapy
You want high-quality, specialized counseling services, but you also need therapy that fits your lifestyle. I get it. Online therapy with Kim Salyer, LMFT in California may be just what you’ve been looking for. I am a certified trauma therapist and use EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to treat the ongoing effects of trauma and attachment wounds. I provide virtual EMDR to allow you to process past trauma so that you can live your life without the past holding you back.
The three main benefits of doing teletherapy are comfort, convenience, and consistency.
Teletherapy Can Increase Feelings of Comfort & Safety
Going to therapy can be emotional, so feeling comfortable and safe in the space you are in is important. When you do online therapy you are able to create your environment exactly the way that you would like. (Cue pillows, blankets, pj’s, pets, and tissues!)
Plus, you can use your own restroom and get something to drink.
If you do not have a safe private place to do teletherapy, then in-person therapy may be a better fit for you.
Online Therapy is Convenient
The second benefit of online therapy is that it is so convenient. You can do it in your office during your lunch hour. You can roll out of bed and be at your appointment in minutes. It makes it easy to fit it into your schedule and be on time.
Teletherapy Helps with Consistency
Maybe you struggle with attending appointments in general.
Therapy could bring up tough stuff that part of you would rather avoid, so you cancel appointments.
Maybe you have a hectic schedule that makes it hard to put aside time to drive to and from the appointment in addition to attending it.
Consistency in meeting with a therapist is vital for you to make progress in therapy, yet any of the above reasons may have stopped you before. Online therapy makes it easier for you to show up consistently.
Online Therapy for Trauma
Are you struggling to function? Struggling to connect with loved ones? Unhappy? Unable to be present and appreciate your life?
Trauma affects every aspect of your life. The effects show up differently in people depending on how their brain made sense of their trauma and attempted to cope and survive. One person may struggle to contain their anger, and another may struggle to voice their anger at all. One person pushes people away, while another may cling to others.
Regardless of how trauma symptoms show up in your life, there is hope. You may not believe that there is hope, but I’ve seen the freeing effects of EMDR and know there is hope. Online therapy for trauma with Kim Salyer, LMFT may be the answer you have been looking for.
Virtual EMDR in California
If you are looking for EMDR therapy, but do not want to attend therapy in person, look no further! You can do EMDR therapy online with Kim Salyer, LMFT.
Virtual EMDR is an effective solution for many issues that bring people to therapy. If you are unfamiliar with EMDR therapy, then I suggest you check out my EMDR therapy page. EMDR therapy was originally developed to treat PTSD and has since been found to treat many other problems as well.
Before the COVID pandemic hit, many questioned if EMDR could be done successfully online, even though it had some promising research. While the pandemic has been challenging for all of us, one silver lining is that EMDR has now been widely and successfully used online.
