“You don’t have to have it all figured out to reach out. Most people who find their way to my office — or to a virtual session — arrive carrying something they’ve been holding for a long time. Maybe it’s anxiety that never fully quiets. Maybe it’s a relationship pattern that keeps repeating no matter how hard you try. Maybe you’ve always felt a little different from the people around you, and you’re not sure why. Maybe something happened — or many things happened — and your body and mind haven’t felt safe since. Whatever brings you here, you are welcome. My practice is built around the belief that healing happens in relationship, and that every person deserves a space where all of their parts — even the ones that feel messy, confusing, or hard to explain — are met with warmth and curiosity. I work with individuals and couples in person on Capitol Hill in Seattle, and virtually in WA & TX.”

“I specialize in therapy for anxiety and OCD (age 3-25); therapy and evaluations for toddlers, preschoolers, and young children with a wide range of concerns; and parenting support. For young children (age 0-8ish), I offer diagnostic assessments to better understand their behavior and development, and guide recommendations. Therapy can help young children and their caregivers to improve their relationship, improve coping skills, reduce tantrums, and reduce parenting stress. I also offer parent support therapy. For many challenges that parents and children face, parenting support can be just as effective as therapy with the child (and often with quicker results!) Parent support can help when your child is having frequent or intense tantrums, having trouble with separation, if your family is going through a stressful time, etc.”

Thriving Hearts Therapy

LCSW

Licensed In:
Utah
“Parenthood may not have unfolded the way you expected. Instead of joyful milestones, you may be carrying the weight of a traumatic birth, NICU stay, pregnancy complications, postpartum anxiety, infertility, loss, or the challenges of raising a medically complex child. While others see how far you've come, you're still carrying fear, grief, guilt, or overwhelm. You don't have to navigate it alone. I help parents process difficult experiences, heal from trauma, and find a path forward so they can feel more grounded, connected, and confident in themselves and their lives. I specialize in helping parents heal from trauma, navigate anxiety, and cope with the unique challenges of medical parenting. Together, we'll process what you've been through, develop practical tools for the present, and help you reconnect with yourself beyond survival mode. The experiences that brought you here may always be part of your story, but they don't have to define your future. You deserve a space where your pain is seen and your healing matters.”

About Parenting Therapy

Parenting therapy gives parents and caregivers a space to get support for the emotional, relational, and practical challenges of caring for a child, teen, or adult child. It can be helpful when you are navigating behavior concerns, school stress, anxiety, emotional outbursts, co-parenting conflict, family transitions, communication struggles, or the strain of trying to respond well in hard moments.

Therapy Expanded helps you compare online therapists who support parents and caregivers by location, specialties, therapy approach, insurance, and availability. Online parenting therapy is not about judgment or perfection. It is about helping you better understand what is happening in your family, feel more confident in your responses, and build healthier patterns over time. If you are looking for therapy for your child or teen directly, you may also want to browse child therapy or teen therapy. If multiple family members want to participate together, family therapy may be a better fit.

What to Know About Online Parenting Therapy

Online parenting therapy is mental health support for parents and caregivers delivered through secure telehealth platforms, usually by video. It gives parents a dedicated space to talk with a licensed mental health provider about the challenges of raising children, supporting family relationships, and responding more effectively to stress at home.

Parenting therapy can be helpful at many different stages. Some parents are looking for help with routines, meltdowns, sleep struggles, anxiety, behavior concerns, or school-related stress. Others need support with emotional regulation, family conflict, co-parenting, neurodivergence, parent-child disconnection, or the challenges of raising teens. Parenting therapy can also be valuable for parents of adult children who are navigating boundaries, communication, caregiving stress, or long-standing relationship strain.

Because this service is offered by licensed mental health providers, online parenting therapy can go beyond general advice. Some sessions may focus on practical strategies and parenting tools. Others may help you explore deeper emotional patterns, stress responses, family dynamics, or the way your own history may be showing up in parenting. In many cases, the work includes both emotional support and concrete, usable guidance.

It is also important to know that parenting therapy is not about being blamed for everything happening in the family. A good provider helps you better understand what may be driving behavior, what your child may need, and how to respond in ways that feel calmer, clearer, and more sustainable. For many parents, that means less reactivity, more confidence, and a stronger sense of direction over time.

Online parenting therapy can be a good fit for parents who want help even if their child is not in the session. In some cases, the child may already be in therapy. In others, the parent may be the one seeking support first. Either way, parent-focused therapy can still create meaningful change. At the same time, online parenting therapy is not the right fit for every situation. Immediate safety concerns, severe crisis situations, abuse, or needs that require in-person family intervention may call for a different level of care.

How Does Online Parenting Therapy Work?

Online parenting therapy usually begins with finding a licensed mental health provider who offers telehealth and works with parents or families. Many provider profiles include their specialties, therapy style, fee information, insurance details, and availability so parents can compare options before reaching out.

Once you book, there is usually an intake process where you share background information about your child, your family, current concerns, and what you are hoping will improve. Some providers meet with one parent individually. Others work with both parents or caregivers together. Depending on the situation, sessions may stay parent-focused or may eventually include other family members if that becomes clinically useful.

During sessions, the provider may help you explore patterns at home, understand your child’s needs more clearly, identify common triggers, and build strategies around communication, boundaries, routines, emotional regulation, co-parenting, or conflict. Some sessions are more reflective and therapeutic. Others are more structured and focused on practical parenting tools you can start using right away.

As therapy continues, you may work on topics like reducing conflict, responding more calmly, handling emotional outbursts, supporting a child with anxiety or other mental health concerns, navigating school or social struggles, or managing the stress parenting brings up in your own life. If you are parenting a teen or adult child, the focus may be more on communication, boundaries, independence, conflict repair, or staying connected without overextending yourself.

Like other forms of telehealth care, online parenting therapy works best when there is consistency, honesty, and room to reflect on what is happening between sessions.

How to Find the Right Online Provider for Parenting Therapy

Finding the right online provider starts with the basics. Make sure they offer telehealth, work with parents or families, and are licensed to provide care where you will be located during sessions. From there, look for someone whose experience matches the support you want, whether that is behavior concerns, anxiety, parenting stress, ADHD-related challenges, co-parenting, family transitions, trauma, neurodivergence, or parent-child conflict.

It also helps to look at the provider’s style. Some parenting therapists are warm and reflective, helping parents understand emotional patterns and family dynamics more deeply. Others are more direct and practical, offering structured guidance, communication tools, and clear next steps. Some do both. Reading the provider’s profile can help you get a sense of whether their approach feels aligned with what you need.

Consider the age and stage of the children involved too. Some providers focus more on younger children and family routines. Others work more with teens, emerging adults, or parents navigating long-term relational stress. A provider who regularly works with the stage you are in may be better able to offer support that feels relevant and grounded.

Practical fit matters too. Look at cost, insurance acceptance, scheduling options, cancellation policies, and whether the provider can meet with one parent, both parents, or caregivers joining from different locations. Because parenting therapy often has to fit into an already overloaded schedule, convenience can make a real difference in whether the process feels manageable.

When available, a consultation can be a helpful next step. Ask what online parenting therapy with them usually looks like, whether sessions are more therapy-based or strategy-based, how they work with co-parents, and what concerns they most often help with. The right provider should feel experienced, nonjudgmental, and able to support both the emotional and practical side of parenting. Therapy Expanded helps parents compare licensed therapists by location, specialties, age groups served, family concerns, and online availability.

Before you book

  • Ask about the provider’s experience with your concerns and goals.
  • Confirm availability, session fees, and your insurance coverage directly.
  • Check that the provider can work with you in each state where you will attend sessions.

Online Parenting Therapy FAQs

What is online parenting therapy?

Online parenting therapy is telehealth-based mental health support for parents and caregivers. Sessions are usually held by video with a licensed mental health provider and may focus on parenting stress, child behavior, communication, co-parenting, boundaries, emotional regulation, or broader family dynamics.

What kinds of concerns can online parenting therapy help with?

Parenting therapy may help with behavior concerns, emotional outbursts, anxiety, routines, school stress, parent-child conflict, co-parenting struggles, family transitions, grief, neurodivergence, and the emotional strain parenting can place on caregivers. It can also help parents feel more confident, less reactive, and less overwhelmed.

Is online parenting therapy the same as parenting support or coaching?

Not exactly. Some people use these terms loosely, but parenting therapy is provided by a licensed mental health professional and may include deeper work around emotional patterns, stress, family dynamics, and mental health concerns. Parenting support or coaching may be more educational, skills-based, or peer-oriented. Online parenting therapy can still be practical and supportive, but it is typically more clinical in scope.

Do I need my child to attend parenting therapy sessions?

Not necessarily. Many parenting therapy sessions are designed for the parent or caregiver only. In fact, parent-focused therapy can be very helpful even when the child is not present. Depending on the provider and the goals of care, other family members may be included later, but they do not always need to be part of the process.

Can both parents or caregivers attend sessions?

Often, yes. Many providers can meet with both parents or caregivers together if that feels helpful and practical. Some may also meet with one parent individually. This can be especially useful when parents want support around shared decisions, co-parenting, or getting more aligned in how they respond to challenges.

Can parenting therapy help if my child is a teen or an adult?

Yes. Parenting therapy is not only for parents of young children. It can also help parents navigating conflict, boundaries, communication, independence, caregiving stress, or relationship strain with teens and adult children. Parenting changes over time, and therapy can still be valuable in later stages.

What if my child refuses therapy?

Parenting therapy can still be worthwhile. Even when a child is not ready, willing, or able to participate in therapy, parents can still learn ways to respond differently, reduce conflict, improve connection, and create a more supportive environment at home. In many cases, change in the parent-child dynamic can start with the parent.

Will I still feel a real connection with my provider online?

Yes, many parents do. A strong therapeutic connection comes from feeling heard, respected, and understood, not only from being in the same room. Online parenting therapy can still feel personal, collaborative, and grounded when the provider is a good fit.

How much does online parenting therapy cost, and can I use insurance?

The cost can vary by provider, location, session length, and credentials. Some providers are private pay only, while others accept insurance or offer sliding-scale options. It is a good idea to review the provider’s profile and confirm both fee and insurance details before scheduling.

When is online parenting therapy not the right choice?

Online parenting therapy may not be the best fit when there are immediate safety concerns, ongoing abuse, severe crisis symptoms, urgent child protection issues, or needs that require more intensive in-person care. It may also not be enough on its own if a child needs direct treatment, formal evaluation, or a higher level of support. In those situations, in-person services, specialized care, or local crisis resources may be more appropriate.

Is parenting therapy different from family therapy?

Parenting therapy usually focuses on the parent or caregiver’s role, stress, communication, routines, boundaries, discipline, or co-parenting. Family therapy may involve multiple family members working together in session. Some families use both depending on their needs.
