Online Therapy in Raleigh, North Carolina

 

There are many benefits to online therapy.  One of the biggest is that you have more access to working with a therapist who specializes in the areas that you need.  I specialize in the Enneagram and in helping people to break generational cycles of trauma, otherwise known as Cycle Breakers.  Not many therapists specialize in these areas.  I love being able to work with counseling clients all over that state of North Carolina including the research triangle and triad areas.  Being able to work online means you are not limited to only working with counselors in your geographic area.   

 

In addition to learning more about my practice and areas of specialization, you may have questions about online therapy.  

 

FAQ: 

 

How will we meet?  We meet face-to-face using live video.  All you need is a device such as a laptop or cell phone and a good internet connection. 

 

Is online therapy effective?  Yes.  I switched to online therapy during COVID and was initially worried that my clients wouldn’t get the same results.  I was pleasantly surprised to discover that online therapy was just as effective as in-person therapy.  The research backs this up as well.

 

Can I do my session from anywhere?  As long as you are in the state of North Carolina, you can meet anywhere that you are comfortable for therapy.  I recommend having privacy and limiting distractions so you can get the most out of your online therapy session.  If you are interested in Enneagram coaching, you do not need to be in North Carolina. 

 

I want to work with you as an Enneagram therapist, is it okay if I don’t have trauma?  Yes.  We can incorporate the Enneagram into whatever you would like to focus on in therapy.  Your personality type intertwines with everything from how you show up in relationships to what causes you anxiety.  The Enneagram is an excellent tool that can be used to help you deeply understand yourself and your barriers to change.  I can help you do the deep work of your type to become the healthiest version of yourself. 

 

What other areas are you experienced in?  Therapy can cover a wide range of topics.  There are several areas where I have a lot of focus and experience: 

  • Recovering from Narcissistic Abuse 

  • Complex family dynamics 

  • Anxiety

  • Sexual abuse 

  • Complex trauma 

  • Childhood trauma

I want to use the Enneagram for my self-growth, but I’m unsure if I should do therapy or Enneagram Coaching. Learn more about the difference here.

What is a Cycle Breaker? A cycle breaker is a person who is intentionally examining the problematic patterns, rules, expectations, and beliefs that came from their family of origin in order to do things differently. They intentionally strive to be healthier than the families that raised them and desire to break the cycle of negative generational patterns continuing to get passed down family lines. Learn more about cycle breakers.

I heard that EMDR is really effective for trauma. Does it work online? Yes. EMDR therapy is a brain-based technique that can help alleviate trauma symptoms using eye-movements. My clients experience positive outcomes and are able to move past areas where trauma keeps them stuck by doing this technique online.

Do you take insurance?  I am a private pay practice and do not bill insurance directly.  Online therapy sessions are eligible for insurance reimbursement.  I can provide the needed paperwork at your request.  

The first step to working together is to schedule a free 20 minute phone consultation. Investing your time, money, and emotional energy into therapy or coaching is a big deal. It’s an investment in yourself, your health, and your well-being. It’s important that you make this investment with trust and confidence that working together is a good fit. This is why I offer a 20 minute phone consultation. During this time we can identify your needs and answer any questions that you have about working together.
