Offering secure video sessions statewide
Online Therapy in California
Somatic and relational therapy via secure video to ease anxiety and stress, support steadier mood, and strengthen relationships. Based in Santa Monica, available online across California. If you’re seeking somatic therapy online in California, sessions offer flexibility and convenience.
Care that fits your life
Online therapy offers consistent support without the commute. This care fits people in high-accountability roles, parents and caregivers, and those growing careers or companies. Many clients appreciate the privacy and comfort of meeting from home or a private office.
Online therapy is also a lifeline for those navigating health or mobility challenges, or traveling frequently within California for work. It ensures continuity of care even when life gets hectic. Whether you’re logging in from a quiet office, a hotel room, or your home, therapy can fit more seamlessly into your life.
How online therapy compares to in-person
Research shows that online therapy can be just as effective as in-person sessions for many issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship stress.
Some clients even find online therapy more effective because:
You’re in your own environment, which can help you feel more relaxed
Skills are practiced in the same space you’ll use them everyday
Consistency can be easier when there’s no commute or parking-related stress
For some clients, online therapy removes barriers that previously made care feel out of reach, from busy schedules to childcare demands. And if you’re someone who travels often or has shifting responsibilities, online therapy helps you maintain momentum without interruption. For relationship concerns, couples therapy via secure video can be especially convenient.
Does somatic therapy work online?
Yes. Somatic work does not require touch. We use practices that translate well to video: grounding and orienting, breath and pacing, micro-movements, and skills for noticing and settling activation.
You’ll set up your space so your system can relax and engage. Many clients keep a comfortable chair, blanket, or glass of water nearby. I’ll guide you in making adjustments so sessions feel as supportive as possible.
Even small practices, like noticing your posture on camera or using your environment to orient to your surroundings, can be powerful. Online somatic therapy allows you to integrate skills directly into the context where you live and work, which can make it easier to carry them into daily life.
