Empathi finds that therapy online works just as well as in-person therapy for most people

Online individual counseling and virtual couples counseling is very effective (especially if both of you are in the same room during the session), as long as you have a good internet connection for clear video and audio signals.

Online counseling is so much more convenient, and it’s easier to schedule appointments

Trying to make room for counseling and commute, especially if you’re trying to get three people to a meeting at the same time in the same place can be very difficult. Online counseling services will save you travel time and money.

If you are curious about exploring online couples counseling, marriage counseling, relationship counseling, or individual counseling, reach out today for a free consult.

Divorce Counseling

The dissolution of marriage is a difficult time for everyone involved, especially when there are children to consider. Separation and divorce bring emotions to the surface that some of us never even knew were there to begin with. Ending a marriage can stir animosity, guilt, shame, and extreme anger. Nobody should have to go through it alone.

Online divorce counseling offers you an objective ear and provides guidance to look at your situation constructively, in a way that benefits you emotionally and psychologically. Divorce counseling offers tools so that you can guide yourself toward major decisions involving divorce.

Pre-divorce counseling online can help you and your partner find your way to a determination or navigate the emotional challenges of divorce.

Empathi’s pre-divorce counseling is here to help you not only figure out what is best for you, but to help you understand what is happening in your relationship, in yourself, and in the cycle you create together so that whatever your future holds, it will be bright.

Life-transition counseling online helps you cope with the intense emotions and uncertainty that follows major events that bring dramatic change to your life. Through counseling you learn resilience against future changes and you become emotionally stronger to face the changes of today.

Your Online Counseling Questions, Answered

Opening up to a stranger about personal and relationship struggles isn’t easy. Why don’t we go first?

You can see a therapist online for any issue you would for a visit in person. The training and education that counselors take into the office with them is the same expertise they bring to you over a video call.

The internet gives us easy access to options that used to be difficult—and sometimes impossible—to reach. This day and age everything seems to be moving online. Games, dating, even entire communities are growing out in the ether of virtual space. 

Counseling is no different. The worldwide web has opened up treatment options beyond anything we had before. Now it’s possible for a couple experiencing marital issues in Little Rock, Arkansas to reach a therapist anywhere who is licensed in their state—all coordinated from our home base in San Francisco, California—without even leaving their home. They can now get quality counseling that they wouldn’t have had means to reach at one time not too long ago.

Now, no matter where you are, you can experience the same high-quality counseling from Empathi that San Francisco has enjoyed for years. Contact us today to begin your online sessions. 

Our counselors are experienced professionals, knowledgeable in many forms of therapy. Whether you’re holding onto past trauma that won’t seem to let you go, engaged in perpetual conflict with your romantic partner, or facing emotional issues that you don’t know exactly how they began, our expert therapists can help you in your difficult time and give you the tools to come out the other side with a sense of peace and ease about life.

Reach out to Empathi and let us know how we can help you.

Subjectively, one might be inclined to believe that online therapy wouldn’t be as helpful as face-to-face, in-person counseling. However, evidence suggests that online counseling is just as effective as in-person counseling. This is especially true of depression disorders, panic disorders, and generalized anxiety. With a good internet connection, a video call with a therapist doesn’t mask or dilute non-verbal communication and facial cues. Tone and intent carry over just as well online as when you’re sitting right there with the person.

Apart from the effectiveness of therapy online, virtual sessions offer a host of other benefits, from better access to greater options. 

Seeing a counselor or psychologist online gives you access to quality mental healthcare from anywhere—as long as your therapist is licensed in your state. This is especially beneficial to people in remote rural areas, where the drive to a mental health professional might take an hour or more. 

Online counseling also opens up a wide array of options for services. You’re no longer relegated to just local psychological help. You can look up quality counseling services across your state or around the country and find one that may suit you better than anyone you’ve looked into in your home town.

The fact is, online counseling opens up a whole new world of mental health for everybody, and Empathi is here to provide you with the highest quality counseling services available nationwide.

Online counseling typically costs the same as traditional counseling. Except for the location, you receive identical service and benefits from online as you would from in-person counseling. You can expect the cost of counseling to run between $100 and $250 per session. Counselors with extensive experience or advanced degrees may charge more.

Our pricing ranges from $150 – $500. Schedule a free consult and we’ll find a therapist in your price range.

Do an internet search for online counseling related to your particular issues. Therapists and counseling centers with a good result rate are going to have outstanding reviews. Read comments from previous clients to gauge what kind of dynamic you might have with the counselor.

Schedule a consultation with a counselor once you’ve come across one that seems like a good fit for you. Prepare questions to ask during the consultation.

Some questions that are good to get answered ahead of time are:

  • What are your credentials regarding my specific issue?
  • What kind of experience do you have with my specific issue?
  • What does successful treatment look like?
  • How long should I expect counseling to last?

During your first visit, get a feel for the professional that’s working with you. Determine if their communication style fits with your individual dynamic. Get a sense of how much you trust your therapist to provide you with the best treatment. If you don’t necessarily click on your initial visit, or the way the counselor communicates isn’t right for you, most counseling centers will allow you to switch therapists.

Once you start therapy, stick with it. People who follow their counseling plan all the way through see the best results. It might not always be easy, but it will always be worth it.

Empathi counselors are well trained in communication, and are able to adjust their approach to fit each individual. We have the tools and the skills to see you through any situation, through any means, to help you set the course for your life that you want to see.

Contact Empathi today to begin your journey into better mental health.

We are passionate about healing people.

Empathi’s compassionate team of anxiety therapists is here to do more than survive—we’re here to help you thrive.

Why Yelp Chooses Empathi Online Counseling

The Empathi Method for Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) provides our counselors with an understanding of the core processes in our clients so we can move out of suffering and toward radical self-acceptance, emotional integration, and connection.

Using an attachment-based framework, we identify how our adult actions and experiences—in our relationship with ourselves, others, and the world— are informed by our very early bonds. Safe with a trained therapist, we are able to vulnerably explore the space between present-day stimulus and action to understand the attachment significance at play. This allows us to identify missing experiences and emotional needs to create living, breathing moments of healing in those spaces.

Pursuing professional psychotherapy is an important first step on the path to transforming cycles of rumination, stress, disconnection, and shame into a life of fulfillment. A genuine willingness and ability to explore the self—one’s  patterns, perceptions, decisions, and reactivity—can bring about a positive change in one’s life that is far-reaching and long lasting.
