The Online Therapy Process

For therapy to be effective, it requires you to be curious about yourself. Therapy asks you to be both vulnerable and accountable and have the openness and flexibility to look inward.

In online therapy sessions, we will reflect on past experiences, as we know that the past provides information about the present. The goal of therapy is to understand what you’ve been through and find solutions for what you’re still going through. When you gain insight into your thoughts and feelings, you gain clarity of how your past is shaping your present. As a result of online therapy, you will show up more openly and authentically to life.

Another key component of therapy is to understand how we view ourselves. Most people struggle with self-criticism and self-judgment. In this instance, the goal of therapy is to help you understand how you came to develop the self-critical voice. Your online therapist will help by examining the implicit or explicit messages you have been exposed to. Through self-reflection, you will gain tools to replace the self-critical inner voice with a self-accepting and compassionate one.

While you will make new discoveries and gain deep insight into who you are and your life story, we will also work collaboratively to transform this insight into action. The insight gained during online therapy sessions will be ineffective if it stays within the therapy space. Once you take this insight and apply it to your life, you will experience the fruits of your hard work.
