Why Online Therapy?
The Benefits of Therapy from the Comfort of Your HomeIn today’s fast-paced world, finding the time and space to prioritize mental health can be a challenge. Online therapy offers a flexible, accessible, and effective way to receive professional help from the comfort of your own home—or wherever you feel most at ease. Whether you’re an expat, digital nomad, or someone who is constantly on the move, online therapy ensures that you have the support you need no matter where you are. If you’re unsure whether online therapy is right for you, let’s explore the benefits and how it can make a positive impact on your life.
Why Choose Online Therapy?
Convenience and Flexibility
With online therapy, there’s no need to commute or take time off from work. You can schedule your sessions around your life, whether that’s early in the morning, during lunch breaks, or in the evening. This makes therapy accessible for those with tight schedules, professional commitments, or family responsibilities. Additionally, if you’re traveling or living abroad, online therapy ensures that you don’t have to miss a session—whether you’re in Europe or anywhere else in the world.
Comfort and Privacy
Being in a familiar environment—whether it's your home, a quiet office, or a private space—allows for a level of comfort that in-person therapy might not provide. You don’t have to worry about being seen walking into a therapist’s office or dealing with traffic. With online therapy, your space is your safe haven. Therapy feels more intimate and personal, allowing for deeper vulnerability and honesty.
Access to Specialized Help
Living abroad or dealing with complex emotional issues such as anxiety, PTSD, CPTSD, borderline personality disorder, or emotional regulation can feel isolating, especially when you can’t find a therapist who truly understands your unique background or who specializes in the areas you need support. Online therapy bridges this gap, giving you access to specialized help from a licensed professional who understands these struggles and is trained in evidence-based therapies like CBT, DBT, ACT, and more.
Continuity and Consistency
Whether you’re in one place or constantly on the move, online therapy ensures you maintain consistency in your treatment. You no longer need to worry about losing progress due to relocation or changing circumstances. In an increasingly mobile world, online therapy offers a stable, consistent way to stay connected to your mental health goals.
Comfort for Sensitive Topics
Discussing personal or sensitive issues can be difficult, especially in a traditional therapy setting. Online therapy allows you to talk to your therapist from a space where you feel in control and safe. For many clients, the anonymity and privacy of being in their own home make it easier to open up and share difficult emotions, experiences, or vulnerabilities.
Perfect for Expats, Digital Nomads, and Travelers
One of the biggest challenges for expats, digital nomads, and frequent travelers is finding a therapist who understands the unique challenges of living abroad, such as cultural adjustment, homesickness, burnout, or loneliness. Online therapy ensures you can work with a therapist who understands these nuances and provides therapy that is tailored to your needs, no matter where you are in the world.

Is Online Therapy Right for You?

In our work together, I use a combination of evidence-based therapeutic approaches tailored to your specific needs. Here's an overview of the therapies I offer to help you navigate complex challenges and improve your mental health:Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): An effective, evidence-based approach to help you understand and change negative thought patterns. Through CBT, we identify harmful thoughts and replace them with healthier, realistic perspectives. This therapy is widely used to treat anxiety, depression, PTSD, and more.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Particularly helpful for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and increasing emotional regulation. DBT offers essential tools like mindfulness, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): A therapeutic approach that helps you accept difficult emotions and move forward, even when discomfort arises. ACT is great for building resilience and living in alignment with your values, regardless of external challenges.
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT): A specific form of CBT, CPT is especially effective for trauma-related conditions like PTSD and CPTSD. This therapy focuses on challenging and reframing unhelpful beliefs that stem from trauma, helping you process and move beyond past experiences.
Motivational Interviewing (MI): A goal-oriented therapy designed to explore your motivations for change, uncovering personal reasons and strengthening your commitment to positive change. It's especially helpful for those feeling ambivalent or uncertain about making life changes.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy: Involves tuning into the present moment to increase awareness and acceptance. Mindfulness helps you reduce stress, improve emotional regulation, and cultivate self-compassion.
Yoga Therapy: Combines physical yoga practices with therapeutic techniques to calm the nervous system, improve emotional regulation, and reconnect you to your body. It is especially effective for those dealing with trauma, anxiety, and chronic stress.
A trauma-informed approach means that therapy is provided with an understanding of how trauma impacts your thoughts, emotions, body, and relationships. My approach centers on creating a safe and supportive environment where you can explore the effects of trauma, learn tools for emotional regulation, and work toward healing at your own pace. I offer trauma-informed care to help clients feel safe, seen, and respected.
During our initial consultation, we will discuss your unique needs and goals. Based on your experience, we will determine the most suitable therapeutic approach, which may evolve as we work together. Whether you need trauma recovery, emotional regulation, or help with relationship dynamics, I’ll guide you through a personalized plan that aligns with your healing process.
The duration of therapy depends on your unique needs and goals. Some clients may find relief after just a few sessions, especially when working on specific issues or challenges. Others may choose to continue therapy for a longer period to explore deeper patterns or address more complex concerns.
For example:
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)Typically, this structured trauma-focused therapy lasts around 12 weeks. It's ideal for those dealing with trauma, PTSD, or trauma-related symptoms.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)This approach is often a longer-term commitment, with a typical program lasting 25 weeks. It focuses on emotional regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance, making it well-suited for individuals managing complex emotional challenges.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)The length of CBT depends on your individual needs and goals. Some clients may complete their therapy in 8 to 12 sessions, while others may extend their work if they’re addressing ongoing anxiety, depression, or behavioral patterns.
Ultimately, therapy is a personalized journey, and we'll decide together what pace works best for you. Whether you're looking for short-term support or longer-term growth, we’ll ensure the therapy process is tailored to meet your specific needs and objectives.
The first session serves as an introductory space where we discuss your reasons for seeking therapy and your goals. We’ll also explore what has felt overwhelming and what changes you hope to see. This session is about building trust and establishing a plan that works for you, with a focus on creating a safe space for you to express yourself.
