Life coaching  is more future focused and supports people who have specific goals around personal development and self-improvement.

Most coaching clients might need support around their mental health wellness practices or simply want to make a big change in their lives and want the support of a coach to help them stay accountable.

Therapists focus on the past, present, and future. Therapists also diagnose mental health conditions.

While a therapist may work with clients to set goals and make changes, primarily clients come to them seeking support for mental health conditions, trauma and PTSD, abuse, treating addiction, life transitions, emotinal support, relationship issues, or a mental health diagnosis.

Research shows that online therapy absolutely is effective. A recent meta-analysis with 17 studies found that online cognitive-behavioral therapy, for example, was just as effective in treating depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and panic disorder. Similar results have been found in attachment-based and psychodynamic online therapy services. Also, research shows that the therapeutic alliance remains a key component of creating successful outcomes in psychotherapy.

Building a strong therapeutic alliance is just as crucial in online therapy as it is in face-to-face treatment. That said, many clients report that they find it easier (and faster) to build that crucial connection virtually. The right online therapist is still skilled in essential counseling techniques, including active listening, validation, gentle confrontation, and unconditional positive regard. 

Whether you’re a first-time client or have worked with mental health providers in the past, most people can benefit from online therapy. The following demographics tend to fare well with online treatment:

• Working professionals
• College students
• New and busy parents
• Clients living in remote areas
• Clients who enjoy the convenience of online therapy

I’m currently accepting Premera and Lifewise insurance. If you’re interested in working together but don’t have one of those plans, that’s totally fine!

I offer out-of-network services, and I can provide you with billing information to submit to your insurance for reimbursement at their out-of-network rate. These are known as superbills. Depending on your insurance plan, you could get reimbursed for part or even all of your session fees.

Also, I work with Thrizer, a platform that helps clients get money back on out-of-network therapy sessions. HSA and FSA payments accepted.  Don’t hesitate to reach out—I’d love to help you through the process!

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least one business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your healthcare provider, and any other provider you choose for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.

If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
