Sometimes, life feels overwhelming. You might be going through a difficult time, feeling anxious or stuck, struggling with low motivation, or trying to work through relationship or career problems. Individual therapy can be a valuable resource in these situations, helping you understand yourself better. Maybe you’re not even sure what’s wrong—just that something feels off. You’ve tried talking to friends, reading self-help books, or distracting yourself, but nothing seems to bring lasting relief.
That’s where individual therapy can help.
In my practice based in Lafayette, Indiana, I work with adults all across the state who are ready to stop just “getting by” and start making meaningful changes. With over 20 years of experience, I’ve seen how powerful one-on-one therapy can be—and how online counseling, in particular, can give you the flexibility and privacy to do the work in a way that truly fits your life.
What is individual therapy?
Individual therapy is a personal, confidential space where you get to talk about you. It’s not about being labeled or judged—it’s about understanding yourself more clearly so you can make intentional changes in your thoughts, behavior, and relationships.
You don’t have to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Many of my clients are functioning adults with jobs, families, and goals who simply want more: more clarity, more peace, more emotional strength, more direction. Therapy gives you that space to slow down, reflect, and figure things out with a trained professional who listens and gives practical guidance.
The benefits of individual therapy
Therapy offers more than just a place to talk. It gives you tools. It challenges unhelpful patterns. It helps you become more aware of how you think and why you feel the way you do. And it gives you support as you work toward your goals—whether those are related to mental health, relationships, self-esteem, or just feeling better in your daily life.
Here are just a few things individual therapy can help with:
- Anxiety and stress
- Depression or low motivation
- Anger issues
- Relationship problems
- Grief or loss
- Life transitions
- Sexual concerns
- Family conflict
- Career stress or burnout
- Past trauma
- Building self-confidence
- Managing emotions more effectively
Whether you want to explore your past or focus on changing the present, therapy gives you a place to do that work with structure and support.
Why online therapy might be the best option for you
Online counseling isn’t just a backup plan for when you can’t make it to an office. For many people, online therapy is actually better than in-person therapy. It allows you to attend sessions from your own space—no traffic, no rushing across town, no waiting rooms.
I’ve provided online therapy for over 20 years, long before it became common. And I’ve seen firsthand how effective and convenient it can be for people across Indiana.
Here’s why online therapy works so well:
1. It’s more private.
Some people feel uncomfortable sitting in a waiting room or being seen entering a therapy office. Online therapy lets you attend from a private space of your choice—your home, your office, or even your parked car. I’ve had clients meet with me from all kinds of places when they needed support during difficult moments.
2. It’s more flexible.
If you’re juggling work, family, and other responsibilities, it can be hard to make time for therapy. Online sessions make it easier to fit counseling into your schedule. You don’t have to build in commute time or rearrange your whole day. Just log in from wherever you are.
3. It feels more comfortable.
Being in a familiar environment can help you open up more. Many clients feel more relaxed and honest during online sessions, especially when talking about difficult topics like anxiety, sex, trauma, or family dynamics.
4. You can access a therapist anywhere in the state.
If you live in a smaller town in Indiana or have trouble finding a specialist in your area, online therapy connects you with experienced professionals who may not be local. You don’t have to settle for someone nearby—you can choose a therapist who truly fits your needs.
5. It’s just as effective as in-person therapy.
Numerous studies show that online therapy is just as effective as in-person therapy for most concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, and more. What matters most is the quality of the relationship between you and your therapist—and that’s something we can build just as strongly online.
Online therapy for Indiana residents—simple, secure, and focused on results
All of my therapy sessions are conducted via a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. It’s easy to use, and you’ll receive clear instructions on how to connect. I use a platform called VSee, which is designed specifically for online medical and mental health care. It’s stable, private, and works even on slower internet connections.
Whether you live in Lafayette, Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, or a small rural town, you can access experienced, licensed therapy without having to leave home.
What therapy looks like with me
My approach is practical, supportive, and grounded in evidence-based tools. I don’t just sit and nod—I listen closely, ask thoughtful questions, and give honest, compassionate feedback. I work collaboratively with you to identify what’s working, what’s not, and what needs to change.
We’ll look at your patterns, your beliefs, and your behaviors. We’ll explore how your past may be affecting your present. We’ll build skills that help you regulate your emotions, improve your relationships, and feel more in control of your life. And we’ll do it all at your pace.
You’re the expert on your life. My job is to help you see the possibilities you might be missing—and support you in getting there.

You don’t have to figure everything out alone
You don’t have to wait until things get worse. You don’t have to keep pretending everything is fine. And you don’t have to stay stuck in patterns that aren’t serving you.
Individual therapy gives you space to think clearly, feel deeply, and take action. And with online therapy, you can access that support in a way that fits your life—not the other way around.
