I offer one-on-one online therapy for adults navigating complex trauma, anxiety, depression, burnout, substance use, and relational patterns.

Who online therapy is for
Most of the adults I work with are high-functioning by external measures — successful careers, meaningful relationships, full lives — yet privately exhausted, emotionally stuck, or disconnected from themselves. Many have been in therapy before and made real progress, but feel like something fundamental hasn't shifted. They understand their patterns intellectually but cannot move them.
Others are managing what's underneath through overworking, substances, or constant motion. Some are navigating the longtail of complex trauma, attachment wounds, or cultural and identity-related concerns that traditional talk therapy hasn't reached.
This work is for adults who look fine on the outside but want care that goes deeper than symptom management.
Slow enough to feel what's underneath.
how the work is held
An integrative, trauma-informed approach
My approach to online therapy is integrative and trauma-informed, drawing from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing, Coherence Therapy, psychodynamic and attachment-informed therapy, CBT, DBT, REBT, ACT, exposure therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. Rather than applying a single model, I work with what your nervous system can access at any given stage — integrating cognitive insight, body-based awareness, and relational understanding to address patterns at their source.
I'm a second-year student at Somatic Experiencing International and have completed MAPS MDMA-assisted psychotherapy training. As a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor in addition to my LCSW, I bring specialized training to clients whose work includes substance use, addiction recovery, or co-occurring conditions.
Not symptom management — surfacing the emotional learning beneath a symptom, and changing it at the root.
what to expect
What to expect from online therapy
The structure of online therapy is identical to in-person work — what changes is the format, not the depth. Sessions take place over a secure video platform; you receive a unique link by email before each meeting. You will need a private space, a stable internet connection, and a device with a working camera and microphone.
The first session is a biopsychosocial assessment of 60 to 90 minutes, where we discuss your history, current concerns, and goals. Subsequent sessions are typically 45 minutes, scheduled weekly to start. Frequency adjusts based on your goals, the work being done, and the pacing your nervous system can sustain. In-person sessions are available in Austin by request.
what online therapy helps with
Conditions I work with in online therapy
Online therapy at Alchemy Psychotherapy is appropriate for adults navigating a wide range of concerns, with particular depth in complex trauma and attachment wounds, anxiety, depression, burnout, substance use and addiction recovery, relational stress, identity and cultural concerns, life transitions, and emotional or communicative stuckness — the experience of knowing what you want to feel or say, but being unable to access or express it. These categories rarely exist in isolation. Most clients arrive with several overlapping at once, and the work treats them as interconnected — not as separate conditions managed in parallel.

questions
Online therapy questions, answered
Does online therapy actually work for complex trauma?
Research consistently shows telehealth therapy produces outcomes comparable to in-person work for most trauma presentations, including complex trauma. What matters most is the therapeutic relationship, the modality used, and consistency of sessions. For severe presentations requiring crisis stabilization or in-person assessment, a referral to higher levels of care may be more appropriate.
Can I do somatic therapy or Internal Family Systems (IFS) work online?
Yes. Both somatic-based therapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS) translate well to telehealth. Body awareness, nervous system regulation, and parts work all happen inside your nervous system rather than in the room itself. The video format often offers an advantage: working from a familiar environment where your body already feels safer.
How much does online therapy cost without insurance?
Sessions at Alchemy Psychotherapy run $250 for a standard 45-minute session, $185 for a 30-minute session when clinically indicated, and $300 for the initial 60 to 90-minute biopsychosocial assessment. In limited circumstances, a reduced fee is available based on financial need and current caseload availability.
Can I use HSA or FSA funds to pay for therapy?
Yes. Mental health therapy is a qualified medical expense under most HSA and FSA plans, meaning you can use pre-tax dollars to cover sessions. I accept HSA and FSA cards through the secure client portal at the time of each session. Confirm specifics with your plan administrator if you have questions.
What do I need at home to start online therapy?
You need a private space where you can speak freely without being overheard, a stable internet connection, and a device with a working camera and microphone. Most clients use a laptop, tablet, or phone. Headphones add an extra layer of privacy. The video link is sent to your email before each session.
How do I know if a therapist is the right fit for me?
Fit shows up in how safe you feel sharing, whether the therapist's approach matches what you need, and whether you sense genuine attunement during sessions. The free 15-minute consultation is designed to give you a feel for both. If something is not working once therapy begins, naming that openly is part of the work itself.
What states are you licensed to practice in?
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Texas, and a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC) in New Jersey. You must be physically located in one of these four states at the time of each session for the work to be legal and clinically appropriate.
How long does therapy usually take to start working?
Most clients notice initial shifts within the first 4 to 8 sessions, often in their nervous system reactivity, sleep, or sense of internal clarity. Lasting change in patterns rooted in complex trauma typically requires longer work, often a year or more. The pacing depends on what you bring, your goals, and your nervous system's capacity.
