Online Therapy for Anxiety & LGBTQ+ Adults Across 7 States

Online therapy at Inner Heart Therapy is one-on-one psychotherapy for adults dealing with anxiety, overthinking, perfectionism, nervous system overwhelm, and LGBTQ+ identity concerns.

I provide secure video therapy to adults located in Idaho, Utah, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Delaware, and South Carolina.

Sessions are 50 minutes and happen from a private space that works for you. No commute, waiting room, or rushing across town. Start with a free 15-minute consultation to see whether working together feels like a good fit.

How Online Therapy Works at Inner Heart Therapy

Sessions are 50 minutes, one-on-one, over a HIPAA-compliant video platform.

• Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit.

• Before your first session, you’ll receive your secure session information.

• At your appointment time, join from a phone, tablet, or computer with a camera.

• I’ll meet you over secure video, and we’ll work together much like we would in an office.

• Between sessions, you’ll have tools and practices to support what we’re working on.

Why People Choose Online Therapy

Removing the commute makes therapy easier to fit into your life. Online sessions also give you access to specialized care outside your immediate community.

Online therapy might make sense if:

• You live in a smaller town or rural area with limited therapy options.

• You want an anxiety specialist or LGBTQ-affirming therapist who isn't available locally.

• A therapy office feels uncomfortable and you'd rather meet from familiar surroundings.

• You want daytime sessions without adding travel time to your workday.

• Logistics have gotten in the way of starting therapy before.

For some people, meeting from home makes the first session feel less intimidating. You get to choose a private setting where you feel comfortable enough to talk openly.

Is Online Therapy as Effective as In-Person Therapy?

Research comparing telehealth and face-to-face treatment for anxiety has found similar outcomes across anxiety symptoms, functioning, therapeutic relationship, and treatment satisfaction.

What matters most is less about whether we're in the same physical room and more about whether therapy fits your needs, you feel comfortable with your therapist, and you're able to engage consistently.

For some people, removing traffic, weather, and travel time also makes attending regular sessions easier.

What You Need to Get Started

The setup is simple:

• A phone, tablet, or computer with a camera and microphone

• A stable internet connection (Wi-Fi or cellular data works)

• A private space where you won’t be overheard

• Headphones, if you want extra privacy in a shared living situation

The most important part isn't the technology. Choose somewhere private where you feel comfortable talking openly. That might be a bedroom, home office, or another quiet space where you won't be interrupted.

Who Online Therapy Works Well For

Online therapy at Inner Heart Therapy is designed for adults who are:

• Dealing with generalized anxiety, high-functioning anxiety, social anxiety, panic, or chronic overthinking.

• Stuck in perfectionism, burnout, or a nervous system that rarely seems to settle.

• LGBTQ+ and looking for affirming, identity-aware therapy beyond the options available locally.

• Living in a rural area or smaller community where specialized therapists are harder to find.

• Looking for therapy that fits into a workday without adding a commute.

You don't need to be in crisis or have everything figured out before reaching out. Therapy starts with figuring out what's been happening and what you'd like to feel different.

What I Treat Through Online Therapy

My work focuses primarily on two areas:

Anxiety therapy: generalized anxiety, high-functioning anxiety, social anxiety, panic, health anxiety, chronic overthinking, perfectionism, burnout, avoidance, and nervous system overwhelm.

LGBTQ-affirming therapy: identity-related stress, minority stress, coming out, internalized homophobia, relationship patterns, religious deconstruction, and anxiety connected with LGBTQ+ identity.

My approach draws from CBT, nervous-system-informed therapy, polyvagal theory, mindfulness, and other approaches based on what fits you.
