Frequently Asked Questions | Online Therapy & Reiki
What is online therapy?
Online therapy, also known as teletherapy, telehealth, or e-therapy, is a convenient and secure way to receive mental health support through video sessions. It allows you to connect with a licensed therapist from the comfort of your home, no commute required.
What device do I need for online sessions?
You can use your smartphone (iPhone or Android), tablet, laptop, or desktop computer to connect to our secure, HIPAA-compliant platform. Just be sure you have a reliable internet connection and a private space for our virtual session.
How can I tell if we’re a good fit for therapy or Reiki?
Choosing the right provider is important. Feel free to email or text me to schedule a quick consultation or ask questions before booking your first session. I’m happy to help you determine if I’m the right therapist or Reiki practitioner for your needs.
What is Reiki and how does distance Reiki work?
Reiki is an ancient Japanese energy healing technique that promotes stress relief, emotional balance, and physical well-being. As a Reiki Master, I offer distance Reiki sessions, allowing you to receive the benefits of Reiki healing virtually no matter where you are in the U.S.
Where do therapy sessions take place?
All therapy and Reiki sessions are offered exclusively online through a private, secure video platform. This telehealth model allows you to access care from the comfort and safety of your own space.
Does online therapy or virtual Reiki really work?
Yes! Research shows that online therapy is just as effective as in-person therapy for many mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, and life stress. Distance Reiki is also widely used to promote healing and calm, and many clients report feeling more comfortable receiving services from home.
What states do you offer therapy in?
I’m licensed to provide online therapy in California, Florida, Maryland, and Washington, D.C.
For Reiki services, I can serve clients anywhere in the United States.

Do you accept insurance?
Yes! I’m in-network with the following insurance providers:

Aetna
United Health Care (UHC)
I also accept self-pay clients and offer superbills for potential reimbursement if I’m out-of-network with your plan. Payments can be made using credit cards or HSA/FSA cards.
Will my therapy sessions be confidential?
Yes. As a licensed therapist, your privacy and confidentiality are a top priority. All sessions are HIPAA-compliant and protected. The only exceptions are in situations involving imminent danger, child or elder abuse, or if legally required by a court subpoena.
What’s your cancellation policy?
Please provide at least 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. Sessions canceled within 24 hours will be charged in full, as that time is reserved just for you.
