Studies, as well as my own experience, have suggested that telehealth, or online therapy, is more effective, and clients stay in therapy longer. One study showed that 'the small differences in outcome favored the telehealth-treated patients. The length of stay and the likelihood of staying in treatment until completion were significant

One study showed that 'the small differences in outcome favored the telehealth-treated patients. The length of stay and the likelihood of staying in treatment until completion were significantly greater in the virtually treated patients.
Although online sessions give a lot of freedom for where you are when we meet, due to licensing guidelines and state laws you must be physically located in Washington state at the time of each of our online counseling sessions.
For your safety,
and as recommended as best practice,
my counseling uses the guidelines of
Trauma Informed Care.
The 6 principles of Trauma-Informed Care are:
safety
trustworthiness and transparency
peer support
collaboration and mutuality
empowerment and choice
cultural historical and gender issues.
The Substance Abuse and mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) states:
"Trauma-informed care is a service delivery approach focused on an understanding of and responsiveness to the impact of trauma. It promotes positive outcomes by emphasizing physical, psychological, and emotional safety and enhances well being by empowering individuals to define their needs and goals and make choices about their care and services."
