I want to collaborate with my client(s), process together and have an authentic conversation. I am not a blank slate, nor do I assign homework.

I am experienced in working with polyamorous, non monogamous, and kinky folks. I enjoy complex family systems, helping people to make meaning of attachments, enact more loving boundaries with people in their lives, and grow language around their emotions.”

Calm Mind Therapy

AMFT

Licensed In:
California
“As a contemplative, sensitive soul, you may already recognize that what brings you to therapy is bigger than a "problem" we could locate within you that needs fixing. Existing in a world such as ours with deep attunement to the suffering within and around means we carry a terribly heavy burden. This can lead to overwhelm, exhaustion, despair, apathy, and loneliness — among many other ailments of the spirit. While we all find creative ways to adapt, many of them risk leading us to feel even more stuck or trapped. They can become addictions, troublesome relational patterns, stubborn core beliefs, or just a gnawing sense of discontent.”

“I work with children and adults struggling with anxiety, negative and unhelpful thought patterns, and avoidance. For children I work specifically with those having a hard time with school avoidance or school related anxiety. I have over 11 years of experience as community mental health specialist working primarily in schools. This gives me an inside perspective to school related concerns- especially for support with teachers.

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.
