First, you have to want to meet online; some people prefer in-person services. Clients that would be a good fit for online counseling:

-Adults and teens who are willing and able to verbally process feelings, thoughts and behaviors.

-Adults and teens who are motivated to participate in therapy or parent coaching.

-Adults and teens who want the flexibility and ease of engaging in therapy or coaching without traveling to an office.

-Adults and teens who want to have their favorite blanket, comfort item or beverage at their fingertips during therapy.

There are several reasons I don't take insurance. Insurance companies require a diagnosis, but I am a strong believer that you don't need a diagnosis to receive or benefit from counseling. I'm also not comfortable sharing all of your treatment information with your insurance companies. At times, I would have to share confidential information for you to get the coverage for counseling services. Most of the time insurance companies have limits on the treatment you can receive, but those limits are not based on individual needs. I am always happy to provide documentation if you would like to submit for out-of-network reimbursement, but be aware, that requires a diagnosis. In most cases, parent coaching sessions cannot be submitted for reimbursement.
