ONLINE THERAPY
Therapy That Meets You Where You Are
No commute. No waiting room. Just you, your therapist, and the healing work that matters.
AT START, WE MEET YOU WHERE YOU ARE
Online therapy (also called telehealth or virtual therapy) is professional mental health counseling conducted via a secure video platform.
It's not a watered-down version of in-person therapy.
It's the real thing, delivered in a way that fits your life. Same licensed therapists. Same evidence-based approaches. Same commitment to your healing. Just more accessible.
Online therapy is effective for treating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, grief, life transitions, and much more. Research consistently shows that virtual therapy is just as effective as in-person sessions for most concerns. You get the same level of care, confidentiality, and support, with the added convenience of attending from home, your car, or anywhere you feel comfortable.
At START, we use HIPAA-compliant video platforms to ensure your privacy and security. Our therapists are experienced in online modalities and know how to create connection, presence, and safety through a screen.
Whether you're balancing a busy schedule, managing childcare, dealing with transportation challenges, or simply prefer the comfort of your own space, online therapy makes mental health support more accessible.
OUR APPROACH TO ONLINE THERAPY
We believe therapy should be accessible, not just available.
Online therapy removes barriers and meets you exactly where you are, literally and figuratively. Our approach is:
Just as Personal
Connection happens through presence, not proximity. Our therapists are fully engaged, attuned, and committed to you, screen or no screen.
Flexible & Convenient
Schedule sessions around your life. No commute. No waiting room. Just log in and show up.
Secure & Confidential
We use encrypted, HIPAA-compliant platforms. Your privacy is protected at every step.
Evidence-Based
We use the same therapeutic modalities online as we do in person, including CBT, DBT, EMDR, IFS, and creative arts therapy.
Adapted for Virtual Success
We know how to make online therapy effective, from managing technical issues to creating intimacy through a screen.
Your Healing Doesn't Have To Wait

How Online Therapy Benefits You
Online therapy offers unique advantages that make mental health care more accessible and sustainable:
Consistency
Bad weather, car trouble, or a packed schedule won't derail your progress. You can keep your appointments no matter what.
Convenience
Attend sessions from home, your office, or anywhere with a private space and internet connection. No travel time. No rushing through traffic.
Accessibility
Online therapy removes barriers for people with mobility issues, transportation challenges, busy schedules, or childcare responsibilities.

For people living in small communities or concerned about being seen entering a therapist's office, online therapy offers an added layer of discretion.
Comfort
Many people feel more relaxed and open in their own environment, which can deepen the therapeutic work.
Flexibility
Schedule sessions during lunch breaks, early mornings, or evenings without the added stress of commuting.
