Why Telehealth Works
Research has found online therapy to be as effective as in-person therapy across a wide range of issues — depression, anxiety, trauma, relational dynamics, and sexual concerns. I’ve seen it work consistently in my own practice. The therapy isn’t compromised in any way. I’m able to work on all the same issues I address in person.
We meet via Zoom. You get a link, log in, and we work. Most clients tell me it’s easier than driving to an office. And yes — I’ve shared many sessions with some very cute babies and puppies.
01
No commute, no parking
Sessions from home mean one less logistical hurdle — which matters when you’re already managing a full life. Easier to keep appointments, easier to show up.
02
Works with children and pets
No need to find a sitter or arrange childcare. I’m used to kids and pets — they’re welcome. Telehealth makes therapy accessible for people who couldn’t otherwise make it work.
03
Greater privacy
For sensitive topics like sex therapy, many clients prefer not to be seen walking into an office. Attending from home removes that barrier and often helps people feel more at ease from the start.
04
Same techniques, same results
CBT, EFT, somatic work, couples interventions — all of it translates to the online format. The therapeutic relationship and the clinical work are the same. The platform is just different.

— how to choose
How to find the right online sex therapist
Not all therapists are equipped to work with sexual issues. Here’s what to look for.
01
Look for couples therapy training
Sexual issues almost always involve relational dynamics — conflict, communication, wounding. A therapist who is trained in couples therapy or is a licensed Marital and Family Therapist is far better equipped than one working only with individuals.
02
Make sure they have specific sex therapy experience
Many couples therapists are uncomfortable with the sexual aspects of relationships and don’t know how to address them directly. Ask explicitly about their experience with sexual issues before booking.
03
Be cautious with coaches
Sex coaches may not be trained to handle relational dynamics, psychological issues, or trauma. If your concerns have any clinical complexity, you want a licensed therapist — not a coach.
04
Look for a holistic approach
An effective therapist addresses emotional, cognitive, relational, behavioral, and contextual dynamics — as well as past wounding. Sexual issues rarely exist in isolation from the rest of a person’s history and relationship.
05
Choose someone flexible
An effective therapist leads you toward where you want to go — not toward what they think you should be doing. Look for someone who is adaptable, practical, and focused on what actually works for you rather than on applying a rigid model.
Logistics
How online sessions work
What to expect
You’ll receive an email with consent forms, HIPAA information, and intake paperwork to complete before your first session.
Payment information is collected before or after the session via credit card, Square, or PayPal. Some clients pay via Venmo.
You’ll receive a Zoom link for your scheduled session. Log in a few minutes early to check your connection.
If you can’t connect or are running late, send a quick email or text. I’ll be there.
How to prepare
Check your internet speed — at least 1.5 Mbps is recommended for a stable video connection.
Test your audio and video in Zoom before the session. Zoom provides built-in instructions for this.
Find a quiet, private space where you won’t be interrupted. Close other apps to minimize distractions.
Connect to the link a few minutes before the session. Kids and pets are welcome — just let me know.
— common questions
Frequently asked questions
How much does online sex therapy cost?+
My fees are $350 for the initial 60-minute intake session and $250 for ongoing sessions. Rates vary across therapists depending on location and experience — most charge between $80 and $300 per session. Some platforms offer reduced-cost subscription or group plans.
Does insurance cover online therapy?+
Most states have a telehealth mandate, and telehealth services are billed the same way as in-person sessions. As an LMFT, my therapeutic services may be eligible for out-of-network reimbursement — I can provide a superbill. I recommend contacting your insurer before your first session to verify your benefits.
Can I join a session with children or pets present?+
Yes — I’m used to it and I welcome them. One of the advantages of telehealth is that it works for people who can’t easily find childcare or a pet-sitter. That said, check with your therapist beforehand, as preferences vary.
Is online sex therapy really as effective as in person?+
Yes — peer-reviewed research has found online therapy to be as effective as in-person sessions for depression, anxiety, trauma, relational issues, and more. In my own practice, I’ve found the same to be true for sex therapy specifically. The therapeutic relationship and the clinical work are unchanged. The platform is just different.
