Online therapists in Maryland

If you think you're weird, you are my people! I am neurodivergent and don't really think in terms of normal and abnormal. My goal is to help you be you with the least possible friction. I offer somatic coaching via Zoom. Topics include trauma, ADHD/neurodivergence, and emotional self-management.  

Finding a good therapist can be difficult. Credentials and experience are fairly straight forward to evaluate, but for a good therapeutic match your sense of comfort is essential. Therefore, I offer a free phone consultation to help you determine if I am a good match for you. I have helped others like you improve their relationships, overcome anxiety, depression and anger. Social difficulties, self-esteem and personal growth are often areas of focus. Naturally, each person and their issues have unique aspects and therefore my treatment approach will vary to some degree. Often a goal of therapy is to replace blind habit with choice. Among many approaches I use, we may explore your past as it relates to the here and now which can uncover patterns that you unknowingly engage in. At times I may offer specific exercises and tools for you to practice on your own. Recognizing your strengths, we will work on building genuine self-confidence, self-esteem, and finding motivation and support to overcome obstacles in life.  

Hey there, Welcome. You found me. The first step, it's always the hardest. Now that you're ready for that next step, I'm here to take it with you.  

I specialize in helping young professionals navigate the ups and downs of life. If you're dealing with anxiety, perfectionism, stress, or trauma, you're not alone, and I'm here to support you. With the convenience of online sessions, I can work with clients in 39 different states with PSYPACT authorization, making it easier for you to access the help you need. Let's work together to build resilience, reduce stress, and find strategies to manage the unique pressures of today's world. Your well-being is my priority, and together, we can make progress towards a happier, healthier you.  

With extensive experience in providing individual, group, and family psychotherapy to clients across various age groups, including children, adolescents, adults, and the elderly, I am dedicated to delivering high-quality services and supporting my clients and their families. I believe we all encounter challenges, and I'm committed to offering a guiding hand through the journeys you embark upon. My psychotherapy services are available in both English and Spanish.  

I'm accepting telehealth (online) clients in most states via PSYPACT, an interjurisdictional practice compact which facilitates greater access to specialized care. I use a HIPAA compliant electronic health record in order to protect your privacy. We can meet anywhere you have privacy, feel safe to be yourself, and have a reliable internet connection. This often involves meeting in the comfort of your home, a (non-moving) vehicle, or your place of employment. I've found that online therapy allows increased flexibility/convenience and reduces time and resources spent driving to and from an office location. If you have questions about meeting via telehealth, I'm happy to answer them in our initial consultation.  

Get results without going to the office! Access all our dynamic services (Individual Therapy for adults, Holistic and integrative Psychiatry, Life Optimization, and Performance & Creativity Enhancement) – to go! Telemedicine (video-based) allows for online counseling and services from the convenience of your home, office, or hotel (as long as it is in a state where we are licensed). This method of care can help you feel at ease in settings better matched to your personality, schedule, and lifestyle. We have provided online therapy options since 2017 - before the pandemic enabled it as a mainstream service - and are therefore well-versed in both helping you feel comfortable and see desired results through this digital session option. Telemedicine is a great option for the following reasons: * You want a specialized expert * It is convenient for your schedule and lifestyle * You or your child suddenly feel sick so now you can’t make it to your in-office appointment * You live in a rural community with limited access to mental health providers * You want to maintain your regular session schedule when traveling We can talk through online video calls (accessible from laptops, phones, or tablets) to work on your goals from nearly anywhere!  

I am a fully online/virtual therapy practice and provide all of my sessions via Google Meet video. I find online therapy offers more convenience to clients and allows them to be comfortable in their own home/personal space.  

I offer teletherapy in MN plus 39 states. This allows you convenience and therapy from the comfort of your own home.

Dr. Mystkowski has flexible hours and telehealth options.  

Dr. Richard Scott is a licensed clinical psychologist in the state of Illinois.

He is a PSYPACT provider and authorized to provide telehealth services in over 30 states.  

I strive to create a safe space to reflect on who you are and what you experience, learn to relate to difficult experiences in new ways, and empower you to make choices about how you want to be. Together we build awareness, compassion, and understanding and orient you towards living a full, vital, and connected life - as you define it. I’ve practiced telehealth using secure video conferencing for many years because I love helping people get the compassionate and cutting-edge care they deserve. Even if they live locally to my practice, many healthcare providers, busy professionals, caregivers, and those with limited mobility find this a welcome way to carve out some meaningful time for reflection, healing, and rejuvenation.  

Quality Psychotherapy Online! COVID Update: We are grateful and honored to be able to provide support to the community during this incredibly challenging time. For the safety of our clients, staff, and the community-at-large, we encourage clients to choose tele-health appointments when possible. Do you want support, but find it challenging to make it to an appointment? Now you don’t have to commute or even leave home. Online counseling will allow us to work collaboratively in a supportive environment, wherever is most convenient for you. Washington Psychological Wellness provides counseling via confidential, real time, 2-way video. Our clinicians use a HIPAA-compliant secure video conferencing to make online-based therapy convenient and confidential. All you need is a comfortable private space, internet connection and a smart phone, tablet, laptop or personal computer. When you schedule your appointment, a secure video link is created for your appointment and sent to you via email. When it's time for your scheduled appointment, simply click the link and we will be connected! COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT TELEHEALTH (FAQ's) We know that online therapy can bring up understandable hesitations and questions. We are happy to put your mind at ease and provide further information about what to expect. Is it confidential? Absolutely. Our therapists maintain strict confidentiality standards for your protection. This means your sessions cannot be recorded. During this time of social distancing, our therapists are exclusively providing counseling via video from their office, or from areas of their home that have privacy. Now we can’t completely promise that your provider’s cat or dog won’t briefly stop in to say hello - but don’t worry, they have been fully trained in our HIPAA protocols! Will it be covered by my insurance? Most healthcare plans provide coverage for telehealth just like in-office therapy. While this is often at your regular copay, coinsurance and/or deductible, there are some variations depending on your specific policy. If you and your therapist are not sure about your benefits, please reach out to Washington Psychological Wellness and your insurance provider. If you run into any coverage issues, we are happy to work with you on payment options during this crisis. Even if you think you don’t have coverage for telehealth, or can’t afford payment, please give us a call -- we continue to get updates from insurance plans that are expanding telehealth benefits as our culture adapts to the developing needs. I’m still not sure telehealth is right for me - maybe I should wait until I can see a therapist in person? It's understandable to want to have or continue an in-person therapy. However, in these very unpredictable times, it is unclear how long this will be our new normal. There are a variety of estimated time frames suggested for social distancing measures lasting from 6 weeks to 18 months. Connecting with a counselor via video is an easy way to get started with care -- or avoid disrupting your care -- and to receive consistent support toward your goals. This can become even more important during these stressful times. Have telehealth therapy sessions been proven to be effective? Yes. There have been numerous studies conducted showing that telehealth is just as effective as in-person counseling. The American Psychiatric Association (APA) published a physician reviewed article in 2017 that notes the following: “There is substantial evidence of the effectiveness of telepsychiatry and research has found satisfaction to be high among patients, psychiatrists and other professionals. Telepsychiatry is equivalent to in-person care in diagnostic accuracy, treatment effectiveness, quality of care and patient satisfaction. Patient privacy and confidentiality are equivalent to in-person care.”  

I have started offering teletherapy in addition to in-person appointments in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, but plan to continue for the convenience of therapy clients even after the pandemic ends. Teletherapy has proven to be a viable and effective option for clients who otherwise for various reasons would not be able to access therapy services in person.  

Hello, my name is Karla Lawrence, and I run a distance (online) counseling and coaching practice for adult individuals in Maryland. I specialize in self-care, anxiety, depression, codependency, stress and burnout recovery counseling for compassionate women & soulful introverts. While online (tele-therapy) is not the right choice for everyone, in many cases it can be just as effective as in-person therapy. You can easily schedule an appointment during your work day, at home, or after you've put the kids to bed. You can save money and time while still making your mental/emotional health a priority. If you identify as a people pleaser, “nice” girl/guy/person, introverted, shy, and/or highly sensitive person in Maryland, I would love to help.
