Is online therapy private enough if I work in an open office?

It can be, with a little planning. A parked car, a booked conference room or a home office with the door closed all work. Headphones help. What matters is that you can talk freely without being overheard.

What if I am too busy for weekly sessions?

Weekly is typical at the start, because early momentum matters, and we space sessions out as things settle. On the free consultation, we can talk about what rhythm is realistic for your schedule.

How much does it cost?

The practice is self-pay. I confirm the session fee on your free consultation, before anything is scheduled or charged, and superbills are available on request if you want to try for out-of-network reimbursement. See rates for details.

Do you only work with professionals?

No. I work with teens, college students, young adults and parents as well as people deep in their careers. If you will be in Texas during sessions and something is weighing on you, the free consultation is the place to see whether we are a good fit.

Online Therapy for Dallas

Dallas moves fast, and looking successful can feel like part of the job. Online counseling gives you a private hour to set that down, without fighting traffic to get there.

When Looking Fine Is Part of the Pressure

In a city built on ambition, it is easy to feel you have to look like you have it all together: the career, the calendar, the house, the photos. When the output never drops, people assume you are fine, and sometimes you assume it too.

That is often where high-functioning depression and quiet anxiety live: in people who are still meeting every deadline. Counseling is one place where you do not have to perform.

A Session That Fits a Demanding Week

Between commutes on US-75, I-35E or LBJ and long days at work, adding a drive to a weekly appointment can be the thing that makes counseling impossible. Fifty minutes by secure video is easier to protect. You can meet from home, a private room at work or a parked car, as long as you are in Texas.

Scheduling, paperwork and secure messaging all happen through a SimplePractice portal, so nothing clinical travels over ordinary email.

Burnout and the Belief That Rest Must Be Earned

A lot of driven people carry a quiet rule: rest is something you earn after everything is done. Since everything is never done, rest never comes. Using cognitive behavioral therapy, we look at rules like that and test them against what is actually true, then build small changes into the week you really have.

My approach to stress and burnout is proactive: we look for the next wall before you hit it, not after.

New to the Metroplex

Dallas draws people from all over for work and school, including students at SMU and Dallas College. Moving to a big metro can mean starting over socially, far from family, while everyone else seems settled. Loneliness and homesickness are not signs you made the wrong move. They are part of a life transition, and they deserve attention.

When Work Is Your Main Connection to the City

Plenty of people move to Dallas for a job, and for a while the job is the whole social world: coworkers, happy hours, the commute. When work is going well, that can feel fine. When it turns stressful, or it ends, there is suddenly nowhere to set the stress down and nobody outside it to talk to.

Counseling can be that outside space. We can look at how to build a life in Dallas that does not rest entirely on one job, and how to handle the pressure while you do.

Where We Might Start

Some of the threads we might pull on, wherever you are in Dallas: perfectionism and anxiety, burnout, depression that hides behind good performance, loneliness after a move, ADHD at work, relationships and grief. Underneath it all are cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused planning and honest feedback, and Christian counseling is there for anyone who wants it.

I have no office in Dallas. All sessions are online, by secure video, while you are located in Texas. Neighbors in Fort Worth and Plano meet the same way, and the page on online therapy anywhere in Texas has the statewide picture.
