Telehealth & Virtual Therapy: Convenient, Confidential and Effective Support

Telehealth and virtual therapy have become a popular and effective option for those seeking professional counseling and support. I offer the convenience of therapy from the comfort and privacy of your own home, making it easier for you to prioritize your mental health. Sessions are conducted through secure video platforms, ensuring that you can receive high-quality therapeutic support anywhere in Alberta.

Virtual therapy is especially beneficial for trauma-focused treatment, including PTSD, anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns. Many of my clients find that the online format helps them feel more comfortable and less vulnerable when discussing sensitive topics, as they’re in a familiar, safe environment. Research shows that telehealth therapy can be just as effective as in-person sessions—especially for those who face barriers like geographic distance, mobility issues, or busy schedules.

Not only has virtual therapy replaced in-person sessions, but it’s also become a trusted, accessible treatment option in its own right. Whether you’re managing everyday stress, coping with trauma, or working through PTSD, virtual therapy offers a flexible solution that fits seamlessly into your lifestyle. I use secure, encrypted video platforms to ensure confidentiality, allowing you to focus fully on your healing and growth.

One of the key benefits of telehealth therapy is the accessibility it provides. You no longer need to commute, pay for parking or take time off work—virtual sessions can be scheduled to fit into your routine. Plus, you’re not limited by local options, meaning you can choose a therapist who’s the best fit for your unique needs, no matter where they are.

If you’re considering therapy for trauma, anxiety, stress management, or other mental health challenges, virtual therapy might be the perfect solution for you. Whether you’re dealing with a recent trauma or seeking ongoing support, I’m here to offer accessible, confidential, and flexible care to help you thrive.

Can Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy be effectively offered virtually?

Absolutely! Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is just as effective when offered virtually. Research has shown that online EMDR produces results comparable to in-person sessions. For example, a 2021 study in the Journal of Trauma & Dissociation found that virtual EMDR is particularly helpful for those who have limited access to in-person therapy, such as individuals in rural areas or with mobility issues.

A 2020 service evaluation also confirmed the effectiveness of online EMDR, showing significant improvements in PTSD symptoms. These findings highlight that virtual EMDR provides a flexible, effective option for trauma therapy, delivering the same therapeutic benefits as traditional in-person sessions.
