Why San Diego Residents Choose Telehealth Therapy

Telehealth removes the two biggest barriers to consistent mental health care: time and distance. San Diego County is home to more than 3.3 million residents, and an estimated 5 percent live with a serious mental illness, a figure that rises to 8 percent in lower income households.For a population this large, being able to reach a telehealth counselor from any neighborhood, without factoring in traffic or drive time, keeps care accessible in a way in-person scheduling often cannot.

Mental Health Therapy Approaches We Offer

Our telehealth therapists use a range of evidence-based psychotherapy approaches, delivered through secure video sessions.

01

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT helps you identify and change thought patterns driving anxiety, depression, and emotional distress. Its structured, conversation-based format translates naturally to teletherapy, with practice built in between sessions.

02

EMDR Therapy

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) treats trauma and distressing memories. Adapted protocols let clients do this healing work from a private, comfortable space at home.

03

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

DBT blends cognitive techniques with skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier relationships, all of which translate well to guided video sessions.

04

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

ACT helps you accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to value-driven action, supporting psychological wellbeing rather than eliminating discomfort. Its conversational style suits telehealth well.

05

Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)

CPT is a leading treatment for PTSD that helps you examine and reshape unhelpful beliefs formed after trauma. Its session-by-session structure and worksheets make it especially well-suited to virtual delivery.

06

Prolonged Exposure (PE) Therapy

PE gradually and safely helps you face trauma-related memories and situations you’ve been avoiding, reducing their hold over time. Delivered via telehealth, it allows this sensitive work to happen in a space where you already feel secure.
