Find Your Virtual Counselor At Finding Solutions
Get Help Anytime, Anywhere
We know you’re busy. You’re a working parent, a professional with a tight and demanding schedule, a college student, a traveler, or you would like help but can’t find the time for in-person treatment. Virtual counseling may be for you.
We offer online therapy with virtual counselors for those who can’t always attend in-person sessions and in-person clients who need the flexibility of an occasional video call. Other types of virtual therapy offered include occasional text messages in crisis situations, emails, and phone calls.
Our counselors are experienced, knowledgeable, and dedicated to helping you find your desired solutions. Virtual therapy offers several benefits, including:
Accessible
Access mental health care regardless if you live in a remote area or have transportation or mobility issues.
Convenient
Schedule and attend sessions from the comfort of your home, reducing travel time and expenses.
Flexible
Find appointments that fit your schedule and connect with therapists from different locations.
Consistent
Utilize technology tools for scheduling, reminders, and sharing resources. Don’t worry about forgetting an appointment. Get the help you need while staying on schedule.
Anonymity
Some people feel more comfortable seeking help anonymously online rather than coming in person to an office. This may lead to increased openness during sessions.
Quick Response
Virtual therapy lets you seek support immediately when you have a crisis.
Adaptable
Tailored to you, virtual therapy offers voice or video sessions on various devices.
Special Needs
Virtual therapy can be a game-changer for individuals with wheelchairs, hearing impairments etc., eliminating the need to leave home, and presenting the session in text format.
Some virtual clients prefer a hybrid schedule that also accommodates in-person sessions. Others prefer to start in person after several online visits. Whichever the case, we can tailor virtual therapy to meet your needs. We have two offices in Northern Virginia so you can choose an in-person session close to your everyday route.
Note
An in-person visit may be necessary for some crises and mental health issues. Your clinician can conveniently schedule in-person sessions and then transition back to virtual therapy as they resolve those issues.

When You Should Seek In-Person Therapy?
While virtual therapy can help many, not everyone is suitable for virtual online therapy. Some individuals may prefer or benefit more from in-person therapy. Individuals should consult with a professional to determine the appropriate therapy mode for their needs.
Additionally, certain mental health conditions and situations might not be well-suited for virtual therapy because of the severity, crisis nature, or specific treatment needs. Certain mental health treatments also require hands-on or specialized treatment. The following conditions and situations are not appropriate for virtual therapy:
1. Severe Mental Illness
Conditions like schizophrenia, severe bipolar disorder, delusional disorders, severe panic, or other severe mental illnesses often require intensive, in-person treatment with in-person monitoring and appropriate in-person mental health checks.
2. Crisis Moments
In cases of immediate danger, such as suicidal ideation, self-injury, or a mental health crisis, in-person intervention or emergency services are often necessary.
3. Complex Disorders
Conditions requiring multi-faceted treatment approaches, such as eating disorders or severe PTSD, may benefit from a combination of in-person and virtual therapy.
4. Child Therapy
While therapists can sometimes use virtual therapy for children, younger ones may benefit more from interactive, proximal, and hands-on therapeutic approaches such as play therapy.
5. Non-verbal Cues
Some conditions benefit from therapists observing non-verbal cues, body language, and other physical signs and behaviors, which can be challenging to assess virtually.
6. Technological Barriers
People uncomfortable with technology or without reliable internet and device access might not benefit from virtual therapy.
7. Lack of Privacy and Environmental Factors
Engaging in virtual therapy without a private space can compromise treatment efficacy. Additionally, various environmental conditions can also impact the results of virtual therapy.
Treatment effectiveness can vary.
