Online Solution-Focused Brief Therapy therapists in Arizona

I am pleased to be able to offer telehealth sessions in other states through PSYPACT  

My online therapy practice is focused on guiding individuals towards understanding and living their true purpose. Through virtual sessions, Josh offers a personalized and empathetic approach to mental health, helping clients navigate their unique life challenges. His practice emphasizes creating a safe, supportive space for self-discovery and personal growth, making therapy accessible and convenient regardless of location.  

I am a Clinical Psychologist who offers both in-person and virtual appointments. I have experience working both with general mental health concerns like anxiety, depression, and life transition (grief, divorce, retirement), but have a particular specialty working with folks on health concerns such as sleep disruption, body image dissatisfaction, and health behavior change. I work with folks ages 18+ and have an approach that is person-centered and focuses on establishing personally meaningful goals to improve well-being.  

My clients typically experience some level of dissatisfaction in their lives that may manifest as anxiety, depression, anger, despair, shame, or frustration. These feelings are indicators of something deeper at work that needs attending in an environment that is safe and caring, with dignity and respect, and with competence. I look forward to hearing from you and supporting you in working through your concerns.  

My online therapy practice specializes in providing compassionate and effective support for individuals and couples dealing with anxiety, relational challenges, and trauma. I offer personalized treatment plans tailored to each client's unique needs, utilizing evidence-based approaches to foster healing and resilience. My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their emotions, develop coping strategies, and work towards a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Online therapy can be very effective and increases opportunities for people to benefit from therapy. I have worked with people from all over the world via online therapy.  

Dr. Anna is a neurodivergent psychologist, which means her brain often thinks faster than she can keep up with and she spends far too much time on Spotify as well as running different marathons (Ragnar Relay is her favorite)! Dr. Anna is the owner of Sandbox Therapy Group, where fun is at the forefront of our mental health services model. Here, she channels her over two decades of expertise in the field of neurodiversity to her local community, and across the USA through her PSYPACT license, by carefully curating creative, compassionate, and collaborative mental health care.

Telehealth (online) sessions are a great way to minimize your time and effort, while still getting all the great benefits of sessions  

My years of academic and professional experience have allowed me to effectively work with a diverse client population of all ages, cultural backgrounds, and behavioral/mental health issues, especially those experiencing difficult life circumstances. I strive to help clients navigate situations related to burnout, existential crises, mindfulness, self-care, distress intolerance, interpersonal conflicts, and life transitions. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I work from a clinical perspective founded on a strength-based, solution-focused, approach. I am well-practiced in individual, couples, and family therapy. I am trained in DBT, which is a good fit for clients who have stalled in other therapeutic interventions.  

I have had specific training in providing virtual therapy to ensure that my techniques and methods are just as powerful and effective this way.  

While we strongly discourage the use of virtual counseling due to technology issues and lack of therapeutic relationship, we do understand there are medical situations which necessitate the use of this. Additionally, we also find that for a person to find therapeutic benefit from therapy it often requires them to step out of their comfort zone which is often their home.  

I have been doing online therapy (virtual and telephone) for several years. Research shows that it is as effective and secure as face-to-face counseling. Telehealth has been endorsed by Medicare, insurance companies and all the professional mental health associations as a useful way for people to receive therapy. It is effective, efficient and convenient. Teletherapy is here to stay.  

Welcome! I provide tele-therapy with a style that is affirming, collaborative and warm. We work together to identify a path in therapy that is focused on your current needs in your journey. This is a compassionate space to explore what it means to live authentically in this world.  

Awakening Mental Health offers online mental health counseling for Individuals and Couples. We offer high-quality Telehealth sessions at a low cost (typically less than an insurance copay) to assist in easing access to mental healthcare to those in need.
