Online Therapy

Online Therapy in Los Angeles

For Los Angeles adults and couples balancing work, traffic, and relationships. Online care avoids another cross-city commute; in-person sessions with me are also available in Manhattan Beach.

What You Bring

Two calendars can leave very little time together.

Entertainment and tech work can involve shifting demands, uncertain plans, and the feeling that you should always be available. Add a long commute and there may be little energy left for a partner. You might postpone a conversation until the weekend, then find yourself too tired to have it. I work with adults and couples who want to understand how those pressures interact with older patterns, not simply organize their calendars better.

How Online Sessions Work

Therapy without crossing Los Angeles

We use secure video from a private setting while you are in California, Arizona, or Missouri. Give yourself the full session, rather than joining while driving or between interruptions. If video drops, we reconnect and follow the phone contingency discussed before treatment. I am licensed in California, Arizona, and Missouri. You can also consider my Manhattan Beach office, with its exact location shared after consultation, and discuss moving between formats.

How I Work

The schedule may reveal something about the relationship.

Emotionally Focused Therapy helps couples slow down a repeating cycle around availability, criticism, and withdrawal. Internal Family Systems can help an adult hear the part that keeps pushing and the part that feels neglected. Psychodynamic work connects those responses to earlier relationships. Narrative ideas let us question stories about always having to be productive. I am direct and kind, and we decide together where to focus.

First Steps

Before We Begin

  1. 01

    Talk before choosing a format

    A free consultation lets us discuss your concerns and whether online or Manhattan Beach appointments make more practical sense.

  2. 02

    Check availability

    We consider a regular time and a private setting. Weekly sessions are common; clinical fit guides any conversation about a different frequency.

  3. 03

    Review Rates

    Read about private pay, superbills, and possible reimbursement before scheduling. The full cancellation policy includes 48 hours of notice for cancellations or rescheduling.

Questions

About Online Sessions

Can I attend while stuck in traffic?
No. Please do not join while driving. A session needs your attention and a private, stationary setting where you can speak freely.
Can we switch to in person?
We can discuss an appointment in Manhattan Beach, subject to availability. Many clients also move the other way, from the office to online.
Does couples therapy require matching work schedules?
We need a time both partners can attend for the full session. We can discuss availability, but a particular slot is not guaranteed.
