Online Therapy With a Licensed Psychologist
As a licensed psychologist practicing in 45+ states, I provide online therapy for adults who want more than quick advice or surface-level coping. Many people arrive feeling overwhelmed, stuck in repeating patterns, or exhausted from holding it together for everyone else. Therapy can be a place to slow down, sort through what's happening, and get steady, skilled support aimed at lasting change.
Who You'll Work With
Hi, I'm Corinne.
I'm a licensed clinical psychologist (PsyD) with extensive experience supporting trauma survivors and marginalized communities. You'll work directly with me at every step. I run every session and sign every evaluation myself. More about me →

What we work on in sessions
In our work together, we'll make sense of both the symptoms you're feeling now and the deeper forces that keep them in place: stress, trauma, relationships, identity shifts, or long-standing beliefs about yourself. My approach is warm and direct.
A Supportive Space
Somewhere you can be honest without judgment.
Practical Tools
Coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and emotional regulation.
Deeper Insight
Into patterns, triggers, relationships, and the impact of past experiences.
Collaborative Goal-Setting
So therapy stays aligned with what matters most to you.
A Steady, Structured Process
Balancing relief now with long-term growth.
How a psychologist's training differs from a therapist's
"Therapist" is a broad term that can include many different training paths. As a licensed psychologist, my clinical training includes advanced assessment, diagnosis, evidence-based treatment planning, and extensive supervised experience.
That background helps if you...
You want a clearer understanding of what you're experiencing, beyond symptom management. You've dealt with complex trauma, long-standing anxiety or depression, or symptoms that feel layered. You've tried therapy before and want something more structured and skills-based. You're looking for treatment that connects the patterns, the nervous-system responses, and the behavior change.
Doctoral-Level Training
You get the warmth of supportive therapy with the benefit of doctoral-level clinical training and a more precise treatment framework.
I See Everyone Myself
Every evaluation and every session is conducted by me directly. Nothing is handed off to a trainee or intern.
PSYPACT Licensed
My PSYPACT license lets me see clients across 45+ states, so you're not limited by where you happen to live.
Common concerns I treat
Clients often reach out for online therapy support with:
Depression & Anxiety
Understand what's driving the low mood or the worry, and build skills that hold up when it comes back.
Trauma, PTSD & Abuse
Make sense of what happened, and work through it with treatment that doesn't leave you stuck managing symptoms.
EMDR Therapy
A structured way to reprocess trauma, anxiety, and grief without reliving what happened in detail.
Burnout
Understand what's driving the exhaustion and build something more sustainable than pushing through.
Perfectionism
Look at where the pressure comes from, and find a way to measure success that doesn't depend on being flawless.
Loneliness
Figure out what gets in the way of connection, and build relationships that last.
Family Conflict
Sort out ongoing conflict with family, and set boundaries you can keep.
Religious Trauma
Work through past religious experiences and what they left behind, without being judged for either.
Social Media Addiction
Treatment for teens 14+ from a psychologist who built engagement systems before I treated their effects.
Aviation Therapy
Confidential, aviation-aware care for pilots and air traffic controllers, from an FAA/HIMS trained aviation psychologist and former pilot.
If you're not sure whether what you're going through "counts" as a reason for therapy, it probably does.
How sessions are scheduled and what they cost
Sessions run 50 minutes over secure, HIPAA-compliant video, typically weekly to start. There's no office to drive to and no waiting room. You log in from wherever you already feel like yourself.
Free 15-Minute Consultation
We start with a free consultation, so you can ask questions and get a feel for whether we're a fit before committing to anything. There's no pressure and no obligation either way.
Your First Session
If we move forward, your first full session is an intake: I'll ask about what's bringing you in, relevant history, and what you want to change. It's closer to a conversation than a formal interview, and it gives us both a starting map for the work ahead.
Weekly Sessions
We meet weekly to start, building both practical coping skills and a deeper understanding of what's keeping the pattern in place.
Adjusting Over Time
Once things settle, many clients move to every other week or monthly. We set the pace based on how you're doing, and change it when that changes.

The methods I draw on
In our work together, I focus on understanding your whole experience rather than dissecting it into smaller parts. I pay close attention to the present moment, and I'll encourage you to look at what you're feeling and doing right now, in a setting where there's room to do that honestly. Using creative and experiential techniques, I help you connect what you're noticing right now to the broader challenges in your life, so you can uncover and address what's unresolved and build deeper self-awareness.
My approach is influenced by principles of visual perception, such as recognizing patterns in thoughts and behaviors. This helps you see the bigger picture and understand how different parts of your life are connected. I see the work of therapy as integration: bringing the separate pieces of your life together into something coherent.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Helps clients accept their thoughts and emotions without judgment, encouraging action aligned with personal values and adaptation to different situations.
Self-Determination Theory
Boosts motivation and independence by helping clients pursue their goals in a way that feels right to them.
Trauma-Focused Therapy
Carefully addresses and heals past traumatic experiences, improving coping strategies.
LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapy
Attention to the particular challenges and life experiences involved, and a supportive, validating setting for exploring identity and relationships.
I build a plan for each client from these methods, matched to what that person is dealing with and what they want from therapy.
What we work toward
You can expect me to be engaged and honest, with attention to both compassion and momentum. We'll work toward:
- Feeling more emotionally steady and less reactive.
- Understanding yourself with more clarity and less shame.
- Building coping skills that hold up when you're under stress.
- Making decisions that match your values and goals.
- Healing what's been carried for too long.
“If you're not sure whether what you're going through counts as a reason for therapy, it probably does.”

Questions people ask before booking
How do I know if I need therapy, or if I'm "not bad enough" for it?
You don't need a crisis to justify starting therapy. Most clients aren't in crisis. They're managing, but exhausted by the effort it takes, and ready for something more sustainable than getting by.
What states can you see clients in?
Through my PSYPACT license, I can provide online therapy to residents of 45+ participating states. See PSYPACT for the full list.
Do you accept insurance?
I accept insurance in Alaska, Colorado, Nevada, and Texas with specific carriers, and offer private-pay sessions elsewhere. See Rates & Insurance for the full breakdown by state.
How is online therapy different from in-person?
Clinically, it isn't. The same approaches apply over secure video as they would in an office. What changes is convenience: there's no commute or waiting room, and sessions fit into your day.
What if I'm not sure which concern applies to me?
That's completely normal, and exactly what the free consultation is for. Most people come in with more than one thing going on, and we sort out where to start together.
