“Tucson Counseling Associates offers anti-oppressive outpatient psychotherapy for individuals, couples, and families. Our practice supports clients navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, identity exploration, life transitions, OCD, ADHD, substance use, and a range of other mental health concerns.”
“Many of the clients that I work with struggle with persistent negative thoughts that weigh them down and create symptoms of anxiety and depression. They may feel stuck and unsure of how to create healthy changes. I help clients who have low self esteem and difficulty managing life transitions and decisions. I also work with clients who have endured a past trauma that are seeking real healing so they can live their lives more meaningfully.”
“I work with individuals, couples and families who are ready for something to change but may not know how to get there. You may be overwhelmed, overthinking, struggling in your relationship, carrying the impact of past experiences, or finding yourself repeating patterns you promised yourself you wouldn't repeat. Many individuals function well on the outside but feel stuck, exhausted, disconnected, or unsure of themselves underneath it all. Some have been in therapy before and understand the problem but still need help actually changing it. I work with individuals who want therapy to be active and purposeful. We'll look beneath the surface, identify what's keeping you stuck, and work toward healthier ways of thinking, responding, communicating, and relating. You won't just have a place to talk, you'll have a place to understand, learn, practice, and make changes you can carry into your everyday life.”
“If you feel confused by your reactions in relationships, I can help. You may worry you’re “too clingy,” feel emotionally preoccupied, or change yourself to avoid losing connection. Or you may pull away when things get close, get the sudden “ick,” feel bored or ambivalent, or question the relationship when your partner shows emotion. Many clients I work with are thoughtful, self-aware adults who understand their patterns but still feel caught in them. I also work with adults impacted by trauma, including experiences that continue to show up as anxiety, emotional overwhelm, hypervigilance, or reactions that feel bigger than the moment. If your nervous system feels stuck in old survival responses, therapy can help you make sense of these patterns and begin relating to yourself and others in a steadier, more secure way.”
“I've had the privilege of working with a wide variety of diverse adult clients--perhaps like you! I provide individual and group therapy (currently not couples or family therapy). Coming from both a generalist and specialist background, I'm able to work with many concerns that could include any of the following: PTSD and trauma (of many kinds) Queer / LGBTQ issues Racial/Ethnic concerns Depression and anxiety Grief, loss, transitions Relationship or family conflict Aging, chronic illness / pain / HIV/AIDS Sexuality, gender, body shame Sexual addiction / compulsion Academic stress and achievement Recovering from narcissistic abuse Interpersonal issues in group therapy Religious trauma, conflict and cult recovery Job stress, burnout, and finding "calling" Student, academic and career concerns Adverse experiences from prayer and meditation Racial discrimination / recovering from hate crime Climate change distress / political anxiety / social justice concerns.”
“I specialize in treating Perinatal and Postpartum Mood and Anxiety Disorders as well as in trauma. I have extensive experience in the areas of depression, anxiety, trauma, and OCD. Through my years of experience I have been able to effectively build therapeutic rapport with individuals and am able to help adults gain a better understanding of their experiences in order to achieve their goals.”
“Chronic pain, illness, nervous system regulation, ptsd, cptsd, ocd, birth trauma, grief, parts work”
“I work with adults and elders on an individual setting both virtually and in person. Located in Easton, PA.”
“Give me your tired, your overwhelmed, your sensitive! My favorite population to work with is Highly Sensitive Persons and all flavors of Neurodivergents! I am also skilled in complex trauma and attachment therapy. I further specialize in working with those with chronic illness or autoimmune presentations. I see adults ages 20 years and older. LGBTQIA+ Friend.”
“I specialize in helping LGBTQIA+ adults manage stress, anxiety, perfectionist tendencies; deepen and strengthen their relationships with themselves and others; reprocess past trauma to foster healing and growth; and understand more about themselves within their cultures.”
“I work with academics, professionals, health care providers, therapists, military service members, spiritual seekers, or psychonauts, parents of troubled teens, people in various forms of relationship having a hard time. I work with folks suffering with anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, suicidality, or complex PTSD as a result of direct trauma (like childhood or adolescent abuses or military experiences) or vicarious trauma (like exposure to or responsibility for traumatized people). I work with people who feel unchanged or worse after prior therapy or psychiatric treatment and feel like no one can help; people incapacitated or terminally ill wondering what really matters; people in recovery from addiction and wanting more out of sobriety; and adult children of alcoholics or personality disordered parents wanting to be free from the effects of neglect or abuse...”

What to expect
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapy approach often used to help people process distressing memories, trauma, anxiety, panic, grief, and experiences that still feel emotionally “stuck.” EMDR uses structured steps that may include focusing on a memory, noticing body sensations or emotions, and using guided eye movements, tapping, or other forms of "bilateral stimulation" to reduce the emotional intensity of memories.
In online EMDR therapy, your therapist may start by teaching you skills for managing strong emotions and helping you feel prepared to approach distressing memories. EMDR may be worth exploring if you want a structured approach to working through difficult experiences without having to retell the details of the event.
How to choose a therapist
When comparing online EMDR therapists, look for someone who explains their process clearly and moves at a pace that feels manageable. EMDR can bring up strong emotions, so finding a therapist you feel comfortable with is important. You may want to ask how the therapist prepares clients before memory processing, how they handle grounding during telehealth sessions, and what happens if you feel overwhelmed between appointments.
Not every therapist who offers EMDR uses it the same way. Some may use EMDR as their primary approach, while others may integrate it with other therapy modalities. Review profiles, compare experience with your concerns, and ask questions before booking.
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.

Questions about this approach
How do I use this page to find an online therapist who offers EMDR?
Start by choosing the state where you will be physically located during sessions. Then use filters to narrow your results by service type, age group, language, insurance, and therapy type. Review therapist profiles to see how they describe Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), what concerns they commonly work with, and whether their communication style feels like a good match before reaching out.
What should I ask before booking?
Ask how the therapist uses EMDR in online sessions, what preparation usually looks like, and whether they combine EMDR with other therapy approaches. You can also ask about session length, pacing, insurance, self-pay rates, cancellation policies, and what you should do if strong emotions come up between appointments. A good first conversation can help you understand whether their style feels supportive and clear.
Does my therapist have to be licensed in my state, and what happens if I travel out of state?
In most cases, your therapist needs to be licensed where you are physically located during the session, not only where you live. If you travel, tell your therapist before your appointment so they can confirm whether they can still provide care while you are in that state. You can also learn more about finding a therapist licensed in multiple states.
Can EMDR be done virtually through telehealth therapy?
Yes, many therapists offer EMDR through telehealth. Online EMDR may use visual cues on screen, audio cues, tapping, or other forms of bilateral stimulation. The therapist should explain how sessions will work, help you set up a private and comfortable space, and make sure you have grounding tools before deeper processing begins. Ask how they adapt EMDR for online care.
Who is EMDR best for?
EMDR is commonly associated with trauma, post-traumatic stress, painful memories, anxiety, panic, grief, and distress linked to past experiences. It may be a good fit if you feel like certain memories, reactions, or body responses are still affecting your daily life. EMDR is not only about talking through events; it is often used when someone wants a structured way to process what still feels unresolved.
Do EMDR therapists need special certification or training?
EMDR is a specific therapy approach, and therapists may have different levels of education, consultation, training, or certification related to it. Before booking, ask how the therapist learned EMDR, how often they use it, whether they are EMDR Certified, and how they decide when it is appropriate for a client.
Does insurance cover online EMDR therapy, and how does payment usually work?
Insurance coverage often depends on your plan, the therapist’s network status, your location, and how the session is billed. Some therapists accept insurance directly, while others offer self-pay rates or superbills you can submit for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Use the insurance and payment filters when available, then confirm coverage, fees, and any expected costs before your first appointment.
When is online EMDR therapy not the right choice?
Online EMDR may not be the best fit during an immediate crisis, when emergency support is needed, when a higher level of care is required, or when you do not have a private space or reliable internet connection. It may also be better to start with stabilization and coping support before trauma processing. If you are in immediate danger or need urgent help, contact local emergency services or call or text 988 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.
