“I strive to meet clients where they are creating a supportive and non-judgmental space I tend to blend traditional talk, therapy modalities with creative approaches, especially gamer, affirmative therapy Individuals age 11 through 60”
“I work with cycle breakers: adults, couples, parents, and families who are ready to stop repeating patterns they inherited, survived, or learned. My clients are often insightful and high-functioning, but feel stuck in anxiety, trauma responses, relationship conflict, parenting triggers, shame, people-pleasing, overfunctioning, shutdown, or emotional reactivity. They may be healing from complex trauma, family-of-origin wounds, birth trauma, postpartum anxiety or rage, infertility, pregnancy loss, attachment wounds, or relational trauma. Many have done therapy before and understand where the pattern came from, but still feel like insight alone has not helped them change it.”

“You love your child deeply, but parenting feels harder than you ever expected. Maybe you are exhausted by constant power struggles, worried about your child's anxiety, big emotions, or behavior, or wondering why the strategies that seem to work for other families just are not working in yours. You may be carrying the weight of adoption, foster care, trauma, having a neurodivergent child no one else understands, or your coming to terms with your own childhood experiences while trying to be the parent you want to be. I work with parents who want things to feel different. You may know what is happening does not feel right, but not know how to shift it. Together, we will make sense of what brought you to therapy, maybe your child's unique nervous system, maybe your own experience of trauma as a child, while also strengthening your relationships, and building practical strategies that help your whole family feel more connected, confident, and supported.”
“If you’re feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or stuck in patterns that keep repeating in your relationships, you’re not alone. I work with individuals who are navigating anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, life transitions, and the weight of trying to hold everything together for everyone else. Many of my clients are used to being the strong one, yet inside they feel unheard, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward. Together, we create a safe and supportive space where you can slow down, process what you’re experiencing, and begin building healthier ways to cope, communicate, and care for yourself. If you’re ready to better understand yourself, heal from what’s been weighing on you, and move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life, you’re in the right place.”
“I am currently accepting new clients. I specialize in maternal mental health, OCD, and ADHD. I provide compassionate support for individuals navigating pregnancy, infertility, pregnancy loss, abortion experiences, and postpartum challenges. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or mood changes, you do not have to navigate it alone. I provide a supportive space where you can feel understood and build the tools needed to move forward with confidence.”
“Many of the couples I work with feel stuck in patterns they can’t quite shift, having the same arguments on repeat, feeling emotionally out of sync, or carrying the invisible labor of maintaining a shared life while sensing a growing distance. You may notice that the intimacy, ease, or sense of “us” that you once had feels harder to access lately, or that work, family, and responsibilities leave little space for real connection. If you’ve been wondering where that closeness has gone, you are far from alone. I specialize in helping couples reconnect, rebuild trust, and find their way back to each other.”
“Teens, Adolescents, Young Adults and Adults”
Online family therapy helps family members work on communication, conflict, transitions, parenting stress, sibling concerns, grief, divorce or separation, behavioral concerns, or patterns that keep repeating at home. Sessions may include the whole family, parents or caregivers only, siblings, adult family members, or different combinations over time.
Therapy Expanded helps you compare licensed online family therapists by state, family concerns, age groups served, therapy approach, insurance, language, and availability. If you are looking for therapy for one child or adolescent directly, browse child therapy or teen therapy. If the focus is parent guidance, co-parenting support, or your role as a caregiver, parenting therapy may be a better fit.
Online family therapy is a form of counseling that helps families work through challenges together using secure telehealth platforms, usually by video and sometimes by phone. Instead of focusing on just one person, family therapy looks at patterns within the family system: how people communicate, respond to conflict, support one another, and navigate stress as a group.
For many families, online therapy can make support more accessible. It may be easier to schedule sessions around school, work, childcare, or shared custody arrangements. It can also open up access to providers outside your immediate area, which may be especially helpful if you are looking for a therapist with experience in parenting concerns, child and teen mental health, blended family dynamics, grief, trauma, or major life transitions.
Online family therapy can support a wide range of concerns, including communication breakdowns, frequent conflict, parenting stress, sibling tension, behavioral concerns, divorce or separation, grief, illness, trauma, and adjustment to major changes at home. Some families seek therapy during a difficult season. Others use it to build stronger communication, healthier boundaries, and more supportive relationships over time.
It is also important to know that family therapy does not always mean every family member will be in every session. Depending on the provider and the goals of therapy, sessions may include the whole family, parents or caregivers only, siblings together, or different combinations over time. The therapist’s role is to help the family better understand what is happening beneath the surface and create healthier ways of relating.
That said, online family therapy is not the right fit for every situation. If there are serious safety concerns, ongoing abuse, coercion, or a family member cannot participate openly, a different type of support may be more appropriate. A qualified provider can help determine whether telehealth family therapy makes sense for your situation.
Online family therapy usually begins by finding a provider who offers telehealth and has experience working with families. Many provider profiles list the age groups they work with, the types of family concerns they treat, their therapy style, fees, and scheduling details. Some also offer a consultation so you can ask questions before getting started.
After booking, you will typically complete intake forms and receive instructions for joining your session online. Depending on the family’s needs and the therapist’s approach, sessions may take place with everyone joining from one home, from separate devices in different rooms, or from different households altogether. A private setting, working technology, and clear expectations about who will attend can help sessions run more smoothly.
In the first few sessions, the therapist will usually learn about your family structure, the current challenges, and what everyone hopes will improve. You may talk about communication issues, emotional outbursts, discipline concerns, family stress, transitions, unresolved conflict, or patterns that keep repeating at home. The goal is not to assign blame to one person, but to understand how the family system is functioning and where change may be possible.
As therapy continues, sessions may focus on communication tools, emotional regulation, boundary-setting, conflict repair, parenting support, or helping family members better understand one another’s perspectives. Some therapists take a structured, skills-based approach, while others focus more on insight, family roles, and deeper relational patterns. Like in-person family therapy, online therapy works best when the people involved are willing to participate honestly and stay engaged in the process.
Finding the right online provider for family therapy starts with the practical basics. Make sure the therapist offers telehealth, works with families, and is licensed to provide care where participants will be located during sessions. If family members live in different households or states, that is especially important to confirm early.
Next, look for a provider whose experience matches your family’s needs. Some family therapists specialize in parenting and behavior concerns. Others focus on teens, blended families, divorce and co-parenting, grief, trauma, sibling conflict, or communication issues. A therapist with relevant experience is more likely to understand the dynamics you are navigating and offer support that feels useful.
It also helps to pay attention to the therapist’s style. Some family therapists are practical and structured, offering communication strategies, parenting tools, and clear steps to work on between sessions. Others take a more reflective approach, helping family members understand roles, emotional patterns, and long-standing dynamics. Reading provider bios can give you a sense of whether their approach feels like a good fit for your family.
Logistics matter too. Look at session cost, insurance information, scheduling options, cancellation policies, and whether the therapist allows family members to join from different locations. With family therapy, convenience can make a real difference in whether the process feels sustainable for everyone involved.
When available, a consultation can be a helpful next step. Ask what online family therapy with them usually looks like, who typically attends sessions, how they work with children or teens if relevant, and what kinds of family concerns they most often treat. The right provider should feel experienced, balanced, and able to create a space where different family members can be heard. Our directory makes that search easier by helping you compare providers and connect with care that fits your needs.

Online family therapy is counseling for families delivered through telehealth. Sessions are usually held by video and may include parents, children, caregivers, siblings, or other family members, depending on the goals of therapy and the therapist’s approach.
Individual therapy focuses on one person’s thoughts, emotions, and goals. Family therapy looks at how people interact as a system. The goal is often to improve communication, reduce conflict, strengthen relationships, and help the family function more effectively together.
Online family therapy may help with communication problems, parenting stress, sibling conflict, behavioral concerns, divorce or separation, blended family adjustment, grief, trauma, major life transitions, and ongoing tension at home. Some families also use therapy to strengthen already caring relationships and build healthier patterns.
Not always. Some sessions may include the whole family, while others may involve only parents or caregivers, siblings, or selected family members. The structure usually depends on the therapist’s approach and what will be most helpful for the family’s goals.
Yes, many family therapists work with children and teens as part of online family therapy. The therapist may adjust the format based on age, attention span, developmental needs, and the specific concerns being addressed.
Often, yes. Many online family therapists can work with family members joining from different homes or separate devices. However, licensing rules may still apply based on where each participant is physically located during the session, so it is important to confirm this with the provider in advance.
For many families, yes. Research suggests online family therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy, especially in structured family-based treatments. A 2021 systematic review and meta-analysis found telehealth family therapy produced outcomes comparable to face-to-face care across many parent, child, and family measures, and reported no studies in which telehealth outcomes were worse than in-person treatment.
Yes, many families do. A strong therapeutic connection comes from feeling understood, respected, and supported, not only from being in the same room. Online family therapy can still feel personal, engaging, and collaborative when the provider is a good fit and the family is comfortable with the format.
The cost of online family therapy varies by provider, location, session length, and specialty. Some therapists are private pay only, while others may offer sliding-scale options. Provider profiles often include fee information or make it easy to ask about pricing before scheduling.
Sometimes. Insurance coverage for family therapy and telehealth can vary by plan and provider. It is a good idea to check with both the provider and your insurance company to understand what may be covered and what your out-of-pocket costs could be.
Online family therapy may not be the best fit when there are immediate safety concerns, ongoing abuse, coercion, severe instability, or situations where someone cannot participate openly. In those cases, in-person care, individual support, or local crisis services may be more appropriate. If anyone is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services or call the National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 9-8-8 right away.
Need urgent support? Therapy Expanded is not a crisis service. If you are in immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. If you need urgent mental health, suicide, domestic violence, substance use, or LGBTQIA+ support, visit our crisis and mental health resources page.
