Online Therapy in Plano and North Texas

Online Therapy Across Texas, and the Quiet Room You Actually Have

You want therapy that fits the life you have. Not a schedule you have to rebuild around it.

Maybe you're away at college and starting over with a new therapist in a new town feels like more energy than you have. Maybe you split your week between Houston and Austin, and a standing Tuesday appointment in Plano isn't realistic. Maybe you're a parent with one free hour between school drop-off and the next game, and the drive would take most of it. Maybe you're a teenager who would talk more honestly from your own room than in a waiting room.

You don't need to shrink your life to fit therapy. You need therapy that fits the life you're already living.

The honest truth about online therapy

I'll be direct about what this is and what it isn't.

If I could choose, I'd meet everyone in person. In a room together, I notice things that never get said out loud. I see how you sit, where your eyes go, and how your body shifts when we get close to something hard. You notice those things in me too. That unspoken layer is part of how therapy works, and I won't pretend otherwise.

Ideal isn't the same as only.

For many people, the real choice isn't between online therapy and in-person therapy. It's between online therapy and no therapy at all. The last few years showed most of us that meaningful work can happen through a screen, and I see it happen every week. What matters is whether online therapy helps you get support you would otherwise postpone or skip.

What changes when we meet through a screen

The pause slows the conversation down

Online, we can't talk over each other the way we do in a room. If we both speak at once, nobody hears anything. So we have to listen all the way through before we respond.

That can sound like a drawback. In practice, it often helps. It slows us down. It asks you to finish your thought instead of cutting it short. It gives you a moment to notice what you're feeling before you react. For a lot of people, that pause is missing in their relationships, and it becomes something they carry into conversations outside our sessions.

I still notice more than your words

If you're slouched low in your chair, if your leg is bouncing and the whole screen shakes with it, if you look away every time a certain name comes up, I'll notice. When it's useful, I'll name it. Not to put you on the spot, but because those moments usually point to what matters most.

Why continuity matters more than convenience

Many of the college students I work with see me in person when they're home for the holidays. During the semester, we meet online. They don't have to start over with a stranger. We get to work through things as they happen: the roommate conflict this week, the breakup last night, the exam that went badly this morning. That's better than waiting until winter break to process it all in hindsight.

The same is true for anyone whose life moves around. Therapy works best when it's consistent. Online sessions let it stay consistent even when your schedule doesn't. The relationship stays intact while your life moves.

Who online therapy usually fits

College students who want the same therapist at school and at home, instead of a new intake every semester.

Executives and professionals who travel across Texas and can't build a standing Tuesday appointment around a Plano zip code.

Parents with a narrow window between work, pickups, and practices, when the hour would otherwise disappear in the car.

People in North Texas who live too far from Plano to make the drive every week but still want a real, ongoing therapeutic relationship.

Teens 14 and up who will say more from their own room than they ever would in an office. I ask parents to help create a private space at home, such as the room farthest from the main living area or a white noise machine outside the door, so your teen feels safe to say what's really on their mind.

How we work together

My approach is relational psychodynamic and person-centered. The relationship between us is the main tool, not a worksheet or a script.

Relational equity, explained

I build what I call relational equity. That means trust built slowly and deliberately until it's strong enough to hold honesty. It's the same thing I write about in why closeness can feel unsafe after trauma. It matters just as much on a screen as it does in a room because the work is still the work.

I'll affirm you and challenge you

I don't hide behind neutrality, online or in person. If something needs to be said, I'll say it kindly and on purpose.

What you can expect from online sessions

Secure sessions

We meet through SimplePractice, a HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform. You'll get a secure link before each session.

Flexible scheduling

My online hours are my most flexible. For executives, I reserve some early-morning sessions on a case-by-case basis so you can finish a session and still make it to work on time.

Freedom to switch formats

You're never locked into one format. Let me know when you'd like to meet in person, and I'll do my best to accommodate. In-person times may shift so I can secure an office at the practice.

Teens 14 and up online

Teens 14 and up work with me online. Younger kids work with me in person through play therapy in Plano.
